The effect of the processing conditions on the mechanical and dielectric properties of epoxy foam

Epoxy foam was fabricated using sodium bicarbonate as the blowing agent. The epoxy foams were prepared using mechanical mixing method. Epoxy used in this study was product of bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin and the curing agent used was polyamide. In this study, the experiment part was consist of fo...
