Modeling the Evolution of the Dynamci Mechanical Properties of a Commercial Epoxy During Cure after Gelation

摘要

The cure kinetics for a commercial epoxy have been established and the influence fo the degree of cure on the glass transition determined. Time-temperature and time-conversion superposition principles have been built into a model that successfully predicts the development fothe viscoelastic properties of the epoxy during isothermal cure from gelation to after vitrification.
