Epoxy network packing density

In Figure 9.1 the comparison of dimensions and for the studied EP is adduced. Their good correspondence indicates unequivocally that their loosely packed matrix, which serves simultaneously as a natural nanocomposite matrix, is the fractal space where the nanocluster structure of epoxy polymers is formed. Since for linear amorphous polymers = 3 [9], i.e., their nanostructure formation is realised in three-dimensional Euclidean space, then the conclusion that chemical crosslinking network availability in the considered EP serves as the indicated distinction cause is obvious enough. In Figure 9.2 the dependence of on crosslinking density is...
