Z. Ahmad et alT g , followed by Albipox, and Timberset had a higher crosslink density than Albipoxand higher storage modulus in the rubbery region.This result was supported by the results of bendingtests as a function of curing time where Timbersetdeveloped crosslinks most rapidly. The smallerpossibly the poor adhesion between the ceramicparticles and the matrix; and increased the T g in the order of Timberset > Albipox in Timberset improved the T g in Albipox improved the T g the T g The effect of the environment on thermal properties ofadhesives were as follows: The effect of various environment on the thermalproperties of adhesives investigated using DMTAshowed similar trends. T g humidity increased; T gcontrol > T > T . ForAlbipox and Timberset, the Tgs were in the orderof T > T gcontrol > T . In all cases the measuredtrends were due to plasticization of adhesives. T g temperature increased. For Albipox and Timberset,the T g s increases as the temperature increases dueto further crosslinking. T g temperature cured epoxies were only partiallycured at room temperature. After soaking in water, the T g T g s for Albipox and Timbersetinteraction than for Albipox and Timberset basedresult corresponded well with the results followingexposure to different humidities; and yielding, plasticization, debonding and presence ofexplained the increase or decrease in strength andthermal properties after ageing under differentenvironment.ACKNOWLEDGEMENT the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation ofthe <strong>Malaysia</strong>n government.
