Chapter 2<br />
Experimental<br />
In this chapter a description <strong>of</strong> materials, equipments <strong>and</strong> operative procedures<br />
will be presented.<br />
2.1 Materials<br />
The epoxy system investigated is composed by EC 57, a DGEBA 1 prepolymer<br />
based on bisphenol A <strong>and</strong> epichlorhydrin, <strong>and</strong> K21, an aliphatic diammine 2 used as<br />
hardener agent, both supplied by Elantas Camattini S.p.A. This fluid, not charged,<br />
bicomponent epoxy-amine system is developed for the resin transfer moulding<br />
process.<br />
2.1.1 Characteristics <strong>of</strong> Fresh Mixture<br />
The characteristics <strong>of</strong> the epoxy system, before curing process, as illustrated<br />
in the technical datasheet are reported in Table 2.1.<br />
