Epoxy resin copolymer with zero shrinkage: Part II Thermal and mechanical properties

Thermal gravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, stress-strain and dynamic mechanical testing were performed for pure epoxy resin and epoxy copolymers. Shrinkage, equal density or expansion was obtained by copolymerizing epoxy resin with various amounts of the expanding monomer norbornene spiro-orthocarbonate (NSOC)
