Physical characteristics of plasticized epoxy system in the post‐yield stage

摘要

AbstractThermo‐rheological analysis was conducted on epoxy–Versamid specimens drawn from different portions of beams subjected to a yield test.Mcvalues, characterizing the crosslink density and determined by a special method, show insignificant variation for unstressed (virgin), pre‐yield, and post‐yield zones of the material. It was concluded that the yielding process in the plasticized epoxy system consists mainly in disruption of physica
