Abstract [en]
The aim of the presented work is to investigate the relationship between the rubbery modulus and the degree of cure for partially to fully cured LY5052 epoxy resin. In particular, this work experimentally tests an existing model defined in shear modulus by redefining into the elastic tensile modulus. Experiments were performed in a Dynamic Mechanical and Thermal Analysis (DMTA) machine in the frequency domain. After the model is tested, super-master curves generated using time-temperature-cure superposition are normalized using the model so that the rubbery modulus made independent on the state of cure, which further simplifies the super-master curves. This results in a unique master curve that describes the viscoelastic behavior of the LY5052 epoxy resin for the given conditions. This consequently could help formulate simplified models to predict viscoelastic behaviour and also develop better experimental methodologies to characterize them.
