STUDY OF VOLUMETRIC CHEMICAL SHRINKAGE OF MODIFIED EPOXY RESINS

The paper presents a study of the influence of the modification of epoxy resin with carbon nanotubes on the volume chemical shrinkage after the gel point. On the basis of the obtained experimental data and model dependences the change of volume shrinkage value during curing of epoxy binder is demonstrated.
