Abstract

Blends based on epoxy resins and a random copolymer, poly(styrene-co-allylalcohol) (PS-co-PA) were studied, analysing the effect of epoxy nature. The epoxy cross-linking reaction was carried out by homopolymerisation, using an imidazole as initiator, and by addition of several amine hardeners. The imidazole acts as initiator of anionic epoxy etherification and as catalyser of epoxy-hydroxyl reaction. Important differences were observed on the network structure and phase behaviour of blends depending on the nature of epoxy matrix. These cause that the blends present different morphologies and different dynamic mechanical properties.
