Abstract
Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and epoxypropoxypropyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane (ETDMS) were mixed in different proportion. The morphology of ETDMS modified epoxy systems was observed by scanning electronic microscope (SEM). Curing kinetics was also studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was suggested that the formation of the microstructures followed reaction-induced microphase separation mechanism.
