Abstract: By using DSO and TGA, the curing properties of the novel liquid terpenemaleic anhydride (T-M) for epoxy resin are investigated by comparing with that of methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride (MTHPA). The curing and the thermofis-sion mechanisms of T-M are discussed. It is found that T-M is storable and thermostable, and has slow and low liberation of heat in the curing process.

Key words: epoxy resin, curing, terpene, maleic anhydride
