Abstract

Liquid crystalline thermosetting epoxy, 4,4'-diglycidyloxy-${\alpha}$-methylstilbene (DOMS) was synthesized and characterized with cross-polarized optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Carbon nanotube (CNT) or graphene reinforced DOMS composites were fabricated by melt blending with sulfanilamide (SAA) as a curing agent. To investigate the thermal degradation behavior, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed under nitrogen atmosphere in the temperature range from 30 to $1000^{\circ}C$. Activation energies for decomposition (Ed) were determined by TGA as a function of the conversion by weight loss processes.
