Thermal stability is a crucial property of polymers in various applications such as adhesives, coatings, and composite materials. The thermal stability of polymers is affected by various factors including the type of polymer, additives, and curing agents used in the formulation. In this study, we aim to investigate the impact of amine curing agents on the thermal stability of polymers.


Amine curing agents are commonly used in the formulation of thermosetting polymers such as epoxy resins. These agents play a critical role in crosslinking the polymer chains, which enhances the mechanical and thermal properties of the resulting material. However, the type and concentration of amine curing agents can significantly influence the thermal stability of the polymer.


Several parameters can be used to evaluate the thermal stability of polymers, including the onset temperature of degradation, the temperature at which maximum decomposition occurs, and the residue after thermal decomposition. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) are commonly used techniques to study the thermal properties of polymers.


In our study, we will prepare a series of epoxy resin formulations with different types and concentrations of amine curing agents. The thermal stability of these formulations will be evaluated using DSC and TGA analysis. The onset temperature of degradation, the temperature at which maximum decomposition occurs, and the residue after thermal decomposition will be determined for each formulation.


The results of our study will provide valuable insights into the impact of amine curing agents on the thermal stability of polymers. Understanding how different types and concentrations of curing agents affect the thermal properties of polymers can help in optimizing the formulation of thermosetting polymers for specific applications. This knowledge can also be useful in the development of new polymers with improved thermal stability.


In conclusion, the investigation of the impact of amine curing agents on the thermal stability of polymers is essential for the advancement of polymer science and technology. By studying the thermal properties of polymers with different curing agents, we can gain a better understanding of how these agents influence the overall performance of the material. This knowledge can be used to develop new materials with improved thermal stability, which can have a wide range of applications in various industries.
