Abstract
A novel coloured epoxy resin has been synthesized by reaction between epichlorohydrin and bisazodiol. The curing of the resin, blended with a DGEBA resin, were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The thermal stability of the cured products has been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The cured products showed good thermal stability. Glass fibre composites were fabricated by blending a DGEBA resin and the novel coloured epoxy resin and their mechanical properties, electrical properties and chemical resistance were studied.
