Abstract

The present study includes experimental investigations of rheological properties of the epoxy composite matrix based on epoxy resin L and hardener EPH 161. It is shown that the temperature dependences of the oligomer viscosity and the hardener can be satisfactorily described by the Arrhenius equation. Dependence of epoxy resin viscosity on temperature and volume concentration of the hardener at the initial stage of the polymerization process is investigated. It is shown that the experimental results can be generalized with one universal dependence of concentration and temperature.
