Abstract: In order to study the effect of micromolecule alcohol on the epoxy/amine system, DSC, rheological and mechanics testing of the epoxy/amine system, epoxy/amine/micromolecule alcohol system, and epoxy/amine/imidazole/small molecule alcohol system were studied in this experiment. The overall performance of the three systems was compared. It is found that the addition of the micromolecular alcohol C4H10O2 as an functional additive into the epoxy resin system has a significant promoting effect. In the presence of the imidazole accelerator 2-ethyl-4-methyl imidazole, the promotion effect of C4H10O2 is better, and both two systems have good mechanical properties.

Key words: epoxy resin, alcohol, rapid curing, curing kinetics, rheological
