Abstract:

The phase diagram,phase morphology and mechanical properties of poly(2,6-dimethy-1,4-phenylene e.ther)(PPE)/epoxy resin(EP)system was studied by using optical microscope and SEM,etc.The results show that PPE/EP system exhibits an UCST(Upper Critical Solution Temperature) behavior and a miscibility increasing with the decrease of relative molecular mass of PPE,resulting in a considerable shift of the UCST fron 430K to
366K,that the addition of TAIC to PPE/EP system greatly improves the solvent resistant of PPE,that the tensile strength of the cured materials increases with the increase of curing temperature and PPE content,while the tensile modulus approximately keeps constant,irrespective of curing temperature and system composition,and that the toughness of PPE/EP system increases with PPE content.

Key words: poly(2,6-dimethy-1,4-phenylene ether), epoxy resin, phase behavior, mechanical property, blend-ing
