amineepoxy
Amineepoxy refers to systems and reactions in which amine curing agents react with epoxy resins to form crosslinked polymers. In practical terms, it describes the chemistry behind most epoxy coatings, adhesives, and composite matrices where an amine hardener is used to cure an epoxy resin. The term may also describe adducts formed when amines are added to epoxy groups to modify processing and properties.
The curing mechanism involves nucleophilic attack by an amine on the epoxide ring. Primary amines open an
Common epoxy resins used in amineepoxy systems include diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and related
Processing considerations include pot life, mixing uniformity, and cure schedules, which can range from ambient-temperature curing
Safety and handling issues involve potential irritant and hazardous vapors from amines, exothermic curing, and the
