Summary

Amine terminated polyetherimide (ATPEI) as a modifier for epoxy resin was synthesized, then blended with a diglycidyl ether bisphenol A (DGEBA)/nadic methyl anhydride (NMA)/catalyst. A study on cure kinetics and morphology was conducted for a blend of a DGEBA/NMA/Catalyst/ATPEI (5phr) system. In the curing process, two major reactions were observed. Each reaction was identified, and a novel model equation for the cure kinetics is suggested.
