Abstract

The three-dimensional densely crosslinked networks obtained from epoxy oligomers and amine crosslinking agents of different nature and molecular weight are studied. For hypothetical polymers whose units correspond to chain fragments between crosslink junctions, the values of the Kuhn segment are calculated. On the basis of these data, its average rigidity is determined taking into account the stoichiometric ratio of the fragments of the network. It is shown that allowance for the average rigidity of the network makes it possible to unambiguously relate the glass transition temperature to the average molecular weight of the chain fragment between crosslink junctions.
