Abstract
Rigid rod epoxy compounds can be cured in liquid crystalline structure. The so obtained networks exhibit better mechanical properties with respect to the isotropic ones. The mesogenic character of the epoxy compounds appears more crucial than the molecular geometry of the curing agent in developing liquid crystallinity. The curing temperature plays an important role in affecting the state of order of the thermosets.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
