Crosslinking of epoxy-oligomeric mixtures has been studied at room temperature and at heating to 383, 403 and 423 K for 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 min in the presence of polyethylenepolyamine. The mixtures consist of industrial ED-20 epoxy resin, oligoesteracrylate TGM-3 and carboxy-containing derivative of ED-24 epoxy resin. The effect of mixture composition, temperature and process time on the gel-fraction content and hardness of polymeric films has been examined. Using IR-spectroscopy the chemism of network formation has been determined.
