Absorption of small amounts (1-3 wt%) of water by epoxy resins effects a substantial plasticizing action and degradation of their mechanical properties. We present results that provide new insight into the molecular details of the interaction of epoxy resins with water. These results show (1) that the water in epoxy resins is impeded in itsmovement, with the molecules hoppingfrom site to site with an approximate residence time per site of 7 X 10" 10 s,(2) that there is no “free” water,(3) that there is no evidence for tightly bound water, and (4) that it is unlikely that the water disrupts the hydrogen-bond network in the epoxy resin. These results are consistent with the notion that water acts simply as a plasticizer for these hydroxyl-containing systems, just as it does for polymers which contain no exchangeable protons.
