In this work we study influence of compatibilizers on tensile and rheological properties of new Silyl terminated polymer/Epoxy two component systems. In early works about that kind systems most of attention is devoted to polymers used (mainly silyl terminated polyether), while less attention is paid to catalysts, compatibilizers and additives [1-2]. One of the most important system elements are compatibilizers, while in this particular system silyl terminated polyether cannot react with epoxy groups directly. This work indicates that compatibilizer has a crucial meaning to reach material potential mechanical properties.
