Glass-fibre-reinforced epoxy composites were fabricated from the matrix resins diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and tetraglycidyl diaminodiphenyl methane (TGDDM) using different amines as curing agents. The characteriation of these epoxy laminates included resistance to chemical reagents, mechanical properties [e.g. shore-D hardness, flexural strength and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS)] as well as dielectric properties including dielectric constant, loss tangent (tan δ), electrical resistance and breakdown voltage.
