Notes:
Dielectric measurements are reported on amine-cured epoxy resin samples over a frequency range from 200 Hz to 200 kHz and a temperature range from -60°C to 70°C as a function of molecular weight of the diglycidyl ether and water content. The effects of change of the molecular weight of the diglycidyl ether on the dielectric relaxation are small in comparison with the changes observed on the introduction of water into the matrix. Analysis of the data indicates the presence of cluster - free and bound - molecularly dispersed water. The former are presumed to be found in voids and cavities which arise in curing powder samples. The conductivity of the water-doped samples reflects the mobility of the water and is compared with the predictions of theories for amorphous materials.
