The packing densities (Van der Waals volume/molar volume) were determined at 293 K for various epoxide–amine stoichiometric networks. They are noticeably higher than those of linear polymers except strongly hydrogen bonded ones [polyamides, poly(vinyl alcohol)]. By extrapolation of the dilatometric data, it was found that the packing densities at the frontiers of the glassy state (0 K and T g ) of the epoxy networks are comparable to those of linear polymers having the same theoretical hydrogen bond density (polyamides). However, for a given packing density at 0 K, the packing density at T g is higher for a network than for the corresponding linear polymer.
