The fracture toughness and stress corrosion cracking characteristics of an anhydride‐hardened epoxy adhesive

摘要

AbstractThe toughness and stress corrosion cracking characteristics of an epoxy resin (DER 332) hardened with hexahydrophthalic anhydride (HHPA) were investigated. The epoxy was studied in both the bulk and bond form, and its properties were compared with an amine‐hardened (tetraethylene pentamine, TEPA) system. The toughness,
