The curing behaviors of DFA- TGBAPP/MNA （ methyl nadic anhydride） systems were studied by differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） method. And the thermal properties of the cured epoxy resin were investigated with the thermo-gravimetric analysis （TGA） and dynamic mechanical analysis （DMA）. Besides, the toughness was characterized with the impact strength tested by charpy impact testing. The results indicated that the modification would improve the curing reactions, and the curing temperatures were decreased with the increasing content of DFA. The thermal properties were not influenced obviously, and the toughness could be improved when the epoxy resin was modified with DFA.展开更多
