Abstract
Epoxy composites are one of the most versatile thermosetting polymers widely used due to their strong soldering resistance, high insulation, and thermal resistance. A wide range of raw materials can be used for the preparation of epoxy resins, thus offering a variety of resins with highly controllable performance characteristics. Essentially, epoxy resins are low molecular weight liquids with two or more epoxide functional groups. To get superior properties of the composite material, a broad variety of inorganic and organic modification agents are used. For this study, two protein substances, gelatin, and wheat gluten were used to change the basic properties of three types of epoxy resins. The specific heat of modified epoxy resin materials was performed by using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) instrument. The thermal analysis was developed on two heatingcooling cycles and the specific heat was evaluated for each segment of the cycle analysis. Also, the mechanical behavior of organic modified polymers subjected to compression was studied using INSTRON compressive testing machine.
