Abstract
The DGEBA/Ph(n) blends were formulated by a sequential mixing process. The thermal conductivity (k) of the blends has been measured as a function of temperature over the range 303-373K degrees. The results show that the values of k increase with increasing Ph(n) weight fraction. It also considers an increase in the effective thermal conductivity at high temperatures due to increasing the intermolecular vibrations. Thermal stability was investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. Both glass transition temperature (T(g)) and char yields of the blends increase with increasing Ph(n) weight fraction. The novolac enhances the thermal stability of DGEBA.
