The Study of the Influence of Chemical Nature of Functional Groups in Oligomeric and Low--Molecular Modifiers on the Rheological Properties of the Epoxy Oligomer

Abstract

The influence of chemical nature of modifier functional groups on the level of intermolecular interactions in the system "epoxy oligomer ‒ modifier", as well as the structure formation and dynamic viscosity of epoxy oligomer has been studied in detail. Modifying additives in low concentrations contribute to an increase in the degree of structure formation of the epoxy system by increasing the intermolecular interaction between the associates of the epoxydiane oligomer. It was established that the strength of the formed coagulation structures depends both on the compatibility parameter of the modifiers and ED-20, and on their intermolecular interaction energy.
