Diffusion mechanism and properties of chemical liquids and their mixtures in 977?2 epoxy resin

Epoxy resin is a versatile high-performance thermosetting material with attractive properties for many engineering applications. However, epoxy resins may come into contact various chemical liquid environments while in service which can degrade their mechanical and deteriorate performance. Water diffusion well-studied; however, little research has been reported on the mechanisms of other liquids/solvents mixtures. Therefore, this study addresses gap through use gravimetric analysis to investigate absorption water liquids, mixtures resin. The characterizations, include weight gain, coefficients, edge effects have investigated. A two-stage process was observed water, ethanol, methanol, unique three-stage butyl formate, decalin, 977-2 observed. correction factor used account effects. experimental results showed dependency saturation levels coefficients polarity liquids interaction level between penetrants polymer. Furthermore, rate binary intermediate rates either penetrant.
