Physical aging of shape memory polymers based upon epoxy-thiol “click” systems
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)
Article
Open AccessThe physical aging behaviour of two epoxy-thiol shape memory polymers has been studied: diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A cross-linked with pentaerythritol tetrakis, denoted 4-thiol, with a calorimetric glass transition ... -
Remarkable Thermal Conductivity of Epoxy Composites Filled with Boron Nitride and Cured under Pressure
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-03)
Article
Open AccessThis work demonstrates that the application of even moderate pressures during cure can result in a remarkable enhancement of the thermal conductivity of composites of epoxy and boron nitride (BN). Two systems have been ... -
Study of hyperbranched poly(ethyleneimine) polymers of different molecular weight and their interaction with epoxy resin
(2018-03-09)
Article
Open AccessTwo different commercial hyperbranched poly(ethyleneimine)s (HBPEI), with molecular weights (MW) of 800 and 25,000 g/mol, and denoted as PEI800 and PEI25000, respectively, as well as the mixtures with a Diglycidyl Ether ... -

The application of thermal analysis to the study of epoxy–clay nanocomposites
(Springer, 2016-08)
Article
Open AccessThe development of polymer layered silicate (PLS) nanocomposites goes back over 20 years now, and yet they still have not achieved their full potential. A principal reason for this is the difficulty of obtaining a truly ... -
The surface modification of boron nitride particles
(Springer, 2019-01-01)
Article
Open AccessThe use of coupling agents to enhance the thermal conductivity of composites of epoxy and boron nitride (BN) has been investigated. Two types of BN particles, lightly aggregated platelets with an average size of 6 µm and ... -

Thermal analysis of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites. Identification of nanostructure development by DSC
(2014-11-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIt has been shown, for three different polymer layered silicate (PLS) nanocomposite systems, how differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) can identify the different reactions of homopolymerisation and of crosslinking that ... -
Thermal and oxidative degradation of epoxy based layered silicate nanocomposites
(2009)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe thermal oxidative degradation of several polymer/clay nanocomposites with a range of clay contents has been determined. It is found that the dispersion of the clay in the resin matrix plays a crucial role in the ... -
Thermal conductivity and cure kinetics of epoxy-boron nitride composites: A review
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-08-17)
Article
Open AccessEpoxy resin composites filled with thermally conductive but electrically insulating particles play an important role in the thermal management of modern electronic devices. Although many types of particles are used for ... -
TOPEM, a new temperature modulated DSC technique - Application to the glass transition of polymers
(2007-01-30)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyTOPEM is a new temperature modulated DSC technique, introduced by Mettler-Toledo in late 2005, in which stochastic temperature modulations are superimposed on the underlying rate of a conventional DSC scan. These modulations ... -
Vitrification and devitrification during the non-isothermal cure of a thermoset. A TOPEM Study
(2010-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe processes of vitrification and devitrification that occur in an epoxy resin when it cures nonisothermally with a hardener are studied in terms of their frequency dependence and as a function of the heating rate. A ... -
Vitrification during the Isothermal Cure of Thermosets: Comparison of Theoretical Simulations with Temperature-Modulated DSC and Dielectric Analysis
(2008-10)
Article
Open AccessVitrification during the isothermal cure of a thermoset, which is monitored by dynamic techniques such as temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC) or dielectric analysis (DEA), is analyzed in terms ...
