Epoxies are a broad class of polymer materials often used as adhesive, structural or binding materials. Epon 828 is an epoxy resin that can be polymerized with a variety of curing agents with the choice of curing agent potentially having an effect on the resulting epoxy polymer’s material properties. In this study, the dynamic behavior of Epon 828 epoxy resin cured with diethanolamine (DEA) is investigated through a series of tamped Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) experiments measured with x-ray phase-contrast imaging. The measured shock and particle velocities are combined with data in the literature to calibrate Mie-Grüneisen equations-of-state (EOS) for portions and combinations of the collective dataset. The calibrated Mie-Grüneisen EOS are validated against particle velocity profiles extracted from published literature using the Eulerian hydrocode CTH. Here, the Mie-Grüneisen EOS fit to only the tamped RMI experimental data presented here most closely follows the particle velocity profile in the published literature.
