Vitrification in the Isothermal Curing of Epoxy Resins by ADSC - METTLER TOLEDO

Vitrification in the Isothermal Curing of Epoxy Resins by ADSC

This article shows that the vitrification time during an isothermal cure can be determined directly with the ADSC technique. The isothermal cure of an epoxy-triamine system was studied using ADSC measurements, two important pieces of information was obtained: heat of reaction, vitrification time and vitrification range. The decrease of │cp*│ and the distinct peak on the phase curve allow the vitrification to be easily detected. From this information, the vitrification time and the vitrification region can be determined.
