HBP/epoxy systems were prepared considering two concentration levels, respectively 0.1 and 5 wt%, and the effects on rheological, thermal stability, mechanical properties and fracture toughness were investigated and analyzed in respect to the corresponding neat epoxy.
Two different hyperbranched polymer (HBPs) fillers were synthesized and dispersed within an aeronautical graded epoxy matrix as toughening agents. The first typology, identified as HBPG (HBP Glassy) is a glassy polyester characterized by a higher glass transition temperature (T-g) then room temperature (similar to 90 degrees C) and obtained by means of bulk polycondensation reaction starting from a diphenolic acid as precursor. The second hyperbranched polymer, labelled HBPR (HBP Rubbery) was a polyamide ester with a T-g of about 20 degrees C and synthesized by bulk polycondensation of sebacic acid and diisopropanolamine.

Abstract
Two different hyperbranched polymer (HBPs) fillers were synthesized and dispersed within an aeronautical graded epoxy matrix as toughening agents. The first typology, identified as HBPG (HBP Glassy) is a glassy polyester characterized by a higher glass transition temperature (T-g) then room temperature (similar to 90 degrees C) and obtained by means of bulk polycondensation reaction starting from a diphenolic acid as precursor. The second hyperbranched polymer, labelled HBPR (HBP Rubbery) was a polyamide ester with a T-g of about 20 degrees C and synthesized by bulk polycondensation of sebacic acid and diisopropanolamine.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
