On Molecular Dynamics and Charge Transport in a Flexible Epoxy Resin Network

An epoxy based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A was reacted with a long-chain poly(oxypropylene diamine) hardener in the presence of an accelerator, resulting in a flexible epoxy network. Tensile properties were tested as a function of accelerator concentration. All systems exhibited high levels o...

description An epoxy based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A was reacted with a long-chain poly(oxypropylene diamine) hardener in the presence of an accelerator, resulting in a flexible epoxy network. Tensile properties were tested as a function of accelerator concentration. All systems exhibited high levels of extensibility, with strain at failure values in excess of 65%. Molecular dynamics in a formulation containing 10 phr of accelerator were then examined using dielectric spectroscopy over the temperature range of 103–433 K. At low temperatures, a molecular relaxation process (γ relaxation) was observed and shown to conform well to both the Arrhenius equation and activated tunnelling. A stronger relaxation appeared (203–303 K) just before the onset of charge transport, which dominated the behaviour at higher temperatures. The former takes an unusual bimodal form, which we consider a result of overlapping β and α relaxations, consequently termed αβ mode. Analysis of this mechanism revealed a Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann (VFT) behaviour. The temperature-dependent DC conductivity, σDC (deduced from the low-frequency charge transport contribution to εr″), also revealed VFT behaviour with an onset statistically equivalent to that of the αβ mode, therefore suggesting that charge transport, at this temperature regime, is strongly affiliated with cooperative molecular motion.
