RESUMO

ABSTRACT Epoxy resin is one of the most important polymeric matrixes for diverse uses, such as aeronautical, mobile, electronics and others. Providing a material capable of self-healing microcracks will allow it to have a more reliable and longer use. In order to study this new property of self-healing to an epoxy resin, a Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) study was carried out to measure physical chemical properties such as activation energy, enthalpy of polymerization, order of reaction and pre-exponential factor based on an Arrhenius equation modelling. The materials used are diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGBA) as the core material, triethylenetetramine (TETA) and an aminated polydimethylsiloxane (ADM), as curing agent and poly(urea-formaldehyde) (PUF) as microcapsule wall. Tests were done by dynamic and isothermal DSC of systems containing the resin and microencapsulated curing agent and also the resin with the free curing agent. The results showed the necessity of heating for the cure and the self-healing to be initiated.
