Abstract
This paper presents the synthesis of a new type of flexible epoxy curing agent and an approach to improve the toughness of epoxy resin by curing without reducing the strength and modulus of the resin-cured material. The results show that the degree of toughness reaches maximum values when the flexible curing agent is applied at weight percentages (wt.%) between 10% and 15%. When the amount of flexible curing agent added to epoxy resin weight is 10wt.%, the impact toughness and fracture toughness increases by 33.3% and 96.3%, respectively, compared with the pure epoxy resin. When the amount of flexible curing agent added to epoxy is 10wt.%, the resulting impact thoughness of the material is 19.5 kJ•m-2 at-50°C, the impact toughness of pure epoxy resin is only 7.96 kJ•m-2.
