Mechanical properties of glass fibre composites based on nitrile rubber toughened modified epoxy resin

Epoxy resins have been presenting a lot of scientific and technical interests and organic modified epoxy resins have recently receiving a great deal of attention. For obtaining the composite materials with good mechanical proprieties, a large variety of organic modification agents were used. For this study gluten and gelatin had been used as modifying agents thinking that their dispersion inside the polymer could increase the polymer biocompatibility. Equal amounts of the proteins were milled together and the obtained compound was used to form 1 to 5% weight ratios organic agents modified epoxy materials. To highlight the effect of these proteins in epoxy matrix mechanical tests as three-point bending and compression were performed.

Modified Epoxy

The correlation between the structural network of a diglycidyl ether of the bisphenol-A (DGEBA) epoxy resin, modified by two distinct aliphatic amines (tetraethylenepentamine TEPA and jeffamine D230), and its mechanical properties, was investigated as possible matrix for abrasive composites applications. Both flexural tests, to determine the yield stress and the elastic modulus, as well as impact tests to determine the notch toughness, were performed. The DGEBA/D230 presented the highest stiffness and toughness but lowest yield stress. This epoxy network also displayed a greater plastic deformation during fracture.
