Herein, in the present study, we developed the synthesis of new trifunctional epoxy resin (TER) namelytriglycidyl ether N,N bis (3-phenylamino propyl) 3-phenylamino propoxy phenyl and the elaboration of its nanocomposite. TER was characterized and confirmed using Fourier transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Further, the storage modulus and loss modulus for all formulated nanocomposite increase with the increase in the zinc oxide filler. The results of the thermogravimetric analysis confirm the amelioration in the thermal properties of different nanocomposites TER/MDA/ZnO crosslinked by methylene dianiline (MDA) and formulated by zinc oxide (ZnO) as a filler at varying mass percentage (0, 0.5, 1, and 2%).
