Summary
The thermal properties of a series of inorganic-organic diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A/octa(aminpropyl)silsesquioxane (EP/POSS-NH2) composites of were systematically investigated. These thermal properties included dynamic mechanical properties, glass transition temperature and thermal degradation temperature. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were adopted. Results showed that the incorporation of POSS into epoxy resin could improve the thermal stabilities of epoxy significantly.
