Abstract

The basic idea of this study is based on the hypothesis that it is possible to obtain nanostructures by stimulating local chemical reactions. Starting with this hypothesis we assumed that it is possible to disperse some inorganic agent into the epoxy resin and stimulating the mixtures we could get some nano-structures what are changing the basic electric behaviour of the polymer matrix. We dissolved some metallic chlorides in DMF (dimethylformamide) and we mixed together the solution with the epoxy resin (the main component). Applying various external stimuli we get materials showing various properties, different from the epoxy resin properties. The electric photoconductivity is increased (in some cases) but the mechanical properties are damaged due the solvent presence into the polymer matrix.

Keywords: epoxy resin; inorganic agents; dimethylformamide; electric photoconductivity
