Neutron scattering was used to investigate the network structure and the response of network to deformation in epoxies. Partially deuterated diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A was cured both with and without amine curing agents. The difference in scattering intensity between cured materials and the monomers will be discussed. The change of the average distance between crosslinks due to deformation and solvent swelling was measured and the results will be discussed in terms of an network unrolling model.
