Abstract: Aseries of chain-extended ureas(Ui) containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) flexible spacers were synthesized and the reactive activity, the storage property, dynamic mechanical behavior and impact strength of the epoxy resin/Ui/ dibenzyl amine(DBA) system were studied. The results showed that the storage life of the epoxy resin/Ui/DBAsystem could be delayed to 40 h at 323 Kand the impact strength of the epoxy resin/chain-extended urea containing PEGspacer with molecular weight 600/DBAsystem was about five times higher than that of the epoxy resin/urea without PEGspacer(UO)/DBAsystem.

Key words: Epoxy resin, Chain extended urea, Polyethylene glycol, Latent curing agent, Toughening modifier
