nalysis of the same specimen after two weeks sitting at room
temperature showed the disappearance of the drop.
Repeating these experiments with TG-MS and TG-GC/MS
showed that the initial weight loss corresponded to a mixture
epoxy fragments and low boiling amines. After allowing these
samples to sit 2 weeks a room temperature, the weight loss
again decreased dramatically and the major component lost
below 250 ºC was found to be water.
