Abstract

In this paper, the thermal and mechanical properties of elastic epoxy for the application of high voltage products were investigated. Glass transition temperature (Tg) of elastic epoxies cannot be found from room temperature to 20$0^{\circ}C$ by DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry). Weight reduction occurred at 285$^{\circ}C$ and 451$^{\circ}C$ according to a thermogravimeter. The first temperature was affected by addictives and the second by epoxies characteristic. Maximum tensile strain showed 28.3kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 20% of mechanical stress in addictives 35 (phr). The SEM (Scanning electron microscope) micrograph of the fracture surface observed void and tearing of elastic epoxy at addictives 35 (phr). On the other side, the SEM micrograph of the rigid epoxy showed a broken trace.
