Abstract: Epoxy resin was modified with star siloxane-terminated oligomers and cured via sol-gel technology. The thermal and mechanical properties of the modified resin were studied.The morphology on the fractured surface was viewed using SEM. It showed that the tensile strength and elongation at break were improved by the introduction of star siloxane-terminated oligomers and coupling agent(KBE-9103).Because of the presence of Si-O-Si in the network, the heat stability was also improved.

Key words: epoxy resin, star siloxane-terminated oligomer, sol-gel technology
