Abstract: Hydrogenated terpinene-maleic ester type epoxy resin(HTME) is a type of epoxy resin synthesized from hydrogenated terpinene-maleic anhydride.The activity of curing reaction of HTME/methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride (MeHHPA) system was investigated by means of DSC and gelation time determination.The curing behaviors of HTME/MeHHPA system were studied by qualitative analysis of FT-IR spectrum and quantitative analysis of curing degree determination.The mechanical properties of HTME cured with MeHHPA were compared with those of terpinene-maleic ester type epoxy resin (TME) andepoxy resin 6101 under the same condition. The results show that the reaction between HTME and MeHHPA was an exothermic one with reaction heat of 153.5 J/g and peak temperature at 157.9℃, and the HTME/MeHHPA system could be cured completely at 110℃ for 8 h with 0.5% benzyldimethylamine (BDMA) by weight of HTME as accelerant. The mechanic properties of the three kinds of cured epoxy products were about the same.
