Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A two-component curable epoxy resin system having an epoxy component containing a unique combination of two or more epoxy resins with at least one of the epoxy resins being an epoxy novolac type resin. The composite made from such resin system exhibits high glass transition temperature.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A curable resin system, comprising 1) an epoxy component comprising two or more epoxy resins, wherein at least one of the epoxy resins is a polyglycidyl ether of a polyphenol having an epoxy equivalent weight of up to about 250, and at least one of the epoxy resins is an epoxy novolac resin; and 2) a hardener component comprising over 90 wt. % of a polyethylene tetraamine mixture and a positive amount of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane, such that the combined amounts of the polyethylene tetraamine mixture and the 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2] octane total 100 wt. % based on the weight of the hardener component. 2. The curable resin system of claim 1 , wherein the polyglycidyl ether of a polyphenol comprises no more than 3 wt. %, based on total weight of the polyglycidyl ether of a polyphenol, of mono hydrolyzed resin content. 3. The curable resin system of claim 1 , wherein the epoxy component comprises at least 10 wt. % of the polyglycidyl ether of a polyphenol, based on the total weight of the epoxy component. 4. The curable resin system of claim 1 , wherein the epoxy novolac resin has an epoxy equivalent weight of about 156 to 300. 5. The curable resin system of claim 4 , wherein the epoxy novolac resin has a chemical structure of: wherein 1 is an integer from 1 to 8, each R′ is a methyl group, and each x is independently an integer from 0 to 4. 6. The curable resin system of claim 1 , wherein at least 40% of the weight of the polyethylene tetraamine mixture is a linear triethylene tetraamine with a chemical structure of: H 2 N—CH 2 —CH 2 —NH—CH 2 —CH 2 —NH—CH 2 —CH 2 —NH 2 . 7. A curable resin system of claim 6 , wherein 100% of the weight of the polyethylene tetraamine mixture is the linear triethylene tetraamine. 8. A fiber-reinforced composite comprising reinforcing fibers and a cured product of the curable resin system of claim 7 . 9. The fiber-reinforced composite of claim 8 having a glass transition temperature greater than 110° C. 10. A fiber-reinforced composite comprising reinforcing fibers and a cured product of the curable resin system of claim 1 . 11. The fiber-reinforced composite of claim 10 having a glass transition temperature greater than 110° C.
