Abstract

A diepoxide containing a disulfide linkage, capable of being reductively cleaved was synthesized. This compound was cured with standard amine curing agents to form intractable network polymers, which were then decomposed into soluble fragments, allowing the effects of network formation on cure chemistry to be evaluated. This system was then used to investigate the effects of an alumina interface on epoxy network formation.
