A curable epoxy resin composite composition including a reinforcing material and an epoxy resin composition, and a process for preparing a composite from such composition; wherein a combination of at least one alkanolamine and at least one styrenated phenol are present in the epoxy resin composition in a sufficient amount to increase the rate of reaction of the at least one epoxy resin and the at least one alkanolamine curing agent while maintaining the thermal and mechanical properties of the composite upon curing of the epoxy resin composition.

Curable epoxy resin compositions and composites made therefrom

Thermoset compositions useful for dampening vibrations at elevated temperatures are disclosed. The thermoset compositions may have a glass transition temperature of 1500 C. or greater, a tan &#x3b4; peak of 0.2 or greater, and a tan &#x3b4; peak width measured at half-height larger than about 400 C., each as measured by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) at a frequency of 1 Hz. The thermoset compositions may be used to dampen vibrations at temperatures in excess of 100&#xb0; C.
