Revestimentos de alta camada obtidos com a modificação de resinas epóxi novolaca pela reação com organo-siloxano e catálise ácida

Epoxy resins are an important class of thermostable polymers, widely used in structural applications or as adhesives. However, the low fracture resistance is their main weakness in many applications. Due to this fact, this study aims to modify a polymer matrix based on a novolac epoxy resin with an organo siloxane (AMS). The final properties of cured epoxys resins are affected by the curing process and the coatings modified in this study with AMS and cured with acid catalyst presented greater resistance to thermal decomposition compared to that cured with Aradur, demonstrating a higher content...
