Abstract
The principles of molecular modelling have been combined with Group Interac
tion Modelling (GIM) for the prediction of properties of thermoset/thermopl
astic resins. The glass transition temperature of the systems was modelled
and thermomechanical properties of epoxy resin polyether sulphone blends we
re discussed. As a result a full envelope of Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Ana
lysis Relaxation (DMTA) curve for wet and dry material was predicted. Diffe
rential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and DMTA experimental methods were used
to validate the modelling results.
