Abstract
The epoxy resin Epon 862 is a very low molecular weight bisphenol F epoxy resin and is popular for aerospace applications. It has low processing viscosity and good mechanical properties for composite applications. When EPON 862 is cross-linked with the curing agent DETDA, superior mechanical properties can be obtained. It is beneficial to understand the mechanical properties of epoxy materials at a fundamental level as a guide in the experimental design of epoxy resin for high reliability. The present investigation focuses on in depth study addressing effects of processing temperatures, curing agent proportions, and addition of constituents including tetraethyl Orthosilicate (TEOS) nanofibers on the mechanical and thermal properties of EPON 862 resin with curing agent DETDA.
