Abstract
This paper first discusses the principles of Inelastic Electron Tunnelling Spectroscopy (IETS) and describes the experimental procedures needed to obtain spectra. Spectra are presented for an epoxide resin and two aliphatic amine-hardeners, and for epoxideamine mixtures both before and after a heat curing schedule. From the latter it can be seen that the normal curing reaction between amine and epoxide groups does not take place within an IETS junction. A possible reason for this is the adsoprtion of amines onto the aluminium oxide surface of the substrate.
