Abstract: In this paper, the effects of water content on the physical and chemical properties and curing properties of epoxy resin were studied. Through varions testing methods, such as rotating rotators, differential scanning heat meters, universal testing machine, the effect of different water content on the viscosity, Tg, curing behavior and mechanical properties of the epoxy resin system were explored. The results showed that as the water content in the epoxy resin system increased, the heat resistance of epoxy resin gradually decreased, and the mechanical performance of casting decreased. Adding modest doses of MTHPA to the aqueous resin can reduce the negative effect on the curing performance of the epoxy-anhydride system impact of water content.

Key words: epoxy/anhydride system, water content, curing behavior, mechanical performance, composites
