Effect of chain flexibility in the network structure on the viscoelasticity of epoxy thermosets

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed study of the effect of the chain flexibility in epoxy-amine crosslinked network is done, where a homologous series of four aliphatic diamine curing agents varying only in the chain length and having a constant functionality is taken and cured stoichiometrically with aromatic epoxy (f?=?2) resin.

Fiber length, thermal, mechanical, and dynamic mechanical properties of injection-molded glass-fiber/polyamide 6,6: Plasticization effect

TL;DR: In this paper, an unreinforced and glass fiber reinforced polyamide 6,6 specimens were subjected to dry, 50% RH and wet conditions, and the results showed that more fiber degradation occurred during processing of the composites with higher fiber loading.
