摘要

Waterborne epoxy varnishes are essential for electrical steel laminates used in electric engines or generators. Two varnish formulations based on bisphenol-A-diglycidylether and dicyandiamide with an epoxy equivalent weight (EEW) of ~ 500 and ~ 900 g/mol were investigated. Thin specimens were prepared by consecutive coating and solvent evaporation followed by final curing. Glass transition temperatures (Tg) of 89 °C (EEW-900) and 101 °C (EEW-500) were deduced by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The lower Tg value was attributed to the higher EEW and a lower network density. Moreover, master curves along with Williams–Landel–Ferry and Prony series parameters were generated. By digital image correlation (DIC)-assisted tensile testing of single epoxy films at temperatures from 30 to 150 °C, a significant drop in tensile modulus from 2600 to 10 MPa and a rise in Poisson’s ratio from 0.35 to 0.47 was ascertained. The implemented finite element model (FEM) showed a good agreement with the experimental data.
