The curing kinetics of PF resin modified with sodium silicate had been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The kinetic analysis was performed at heating rates of 5, 10, 15, and 20°C/min,respectively. The kinetic parameters such as reaction order and activation energy were solved by Kissinger and Crane equation. The relationship between curing temperature and heating rate was also investigated. The activation energy and the curing reaction order,which were obtained by kinetic calculation, are 83.00kJ/mol and 0.917, respectively. The curing reaction kinetics equations were built by the obtained best curing temperature, reaction order, pre-exponential factor and reaction rate constant.

A new epoxy resin based on dichlorosilane and 9,9-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) fluorene was synthesized to produce a highly heat-resistant network. The chemical structure was characterized with FTIR spectroscopy and 1H-NMR. 4-4′-Diaminodiphenylsulfone (DDS) was used as the curing agent. The curing kinetics of different epoxy/DDS systems were investigated using non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the values of activation energy (E) were affected by the chemical structure of epoxy resin, and BPEBF exhibited lower curing reactivity towards DDS compared to E-51.

A thermosetting epoxy resin system consisting of diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and m-xylylenediamine (MXDA) was successfully foamed by carbon dioxide (CO2) using two-step batch process. Isothermal curing kinetics of epoxy system was developed to help control the pre-curing degree of resin under different pre-curing conditions. Samples with different pre-curing degrees were prepared and then foamed via temperature-rising foaming process. It was found that the pre-curing degree was a crucial index for the foamability of epoxy resin. The effects of pre-curing conditions on curing reaction as well as further foaming results were investigated, and the results showed that the pre-curing degree from 37.7% to 46.3% was the proper foaming range for the chosen epoxy resin. With increasing pre-curing degrees from 37.7% to 51.6%, viscosity and elasticity of pre-cured resins increased, and correspondingly, average cell size of epoxy foams decreased from 329.8 µm to 60.8 µm while cell density increased from 1.4 × 105 cells/cm3 to 8.6 × 105 cells/cm3. Furthermore, the foamed samples with the same pre-curing degree had similar cell morphology regardless of pre-curing conditions.

The epoxy/clay nanocomposites have been extensively considered over years because of their low cost and excellent performance. Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are unique 1D natural nanofillers with a hollow tubular shape and high aspect ratio. To tackle poor dispersion of the pristine halloysite (P-HNT) in the epoxy matrix, alkali surface-treated HNT (A-HNT) and epoxy silane functionalized HNT (F-HNT) were developed and cured with epoxy resin. Nonisothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses were performed on epoxy nanocomposites containing 0.1 wt.% of P-HNT, A-HNT, and F-HNT. Quantitative analysis of the cure kinetics of epoxy/amine system made by isoconversional Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS) and Friedman methods made possible calculation of the activation energy (Eα) as a function of conversion (α). The activation energy gradually increased by increasing α due to the diffusion-control mechanism. However, the average value of Eα for nanocomposites was lower comparably, suggesting autocatalytic curing mechanism. Detailed assessment revealed that autocatalytic reaction degree, m increased at low heating rate from 0.107 for neat epoxy/amine system to 0.908 and 0.24 for epoxy/P-HNT and epoxy/A-HNT nanocomposites, respectively, whereas epoxy/F-HNT system had m value of 0.072 as a signature of dominance of non-catalytic reactions. At high heating rates, a similar behavior but not that significant was observed due to the accelerated gelation in the system. In fact, by the introduction of nanotubes the mobility of curing moieties decreased resulting in some deviation of experimental cure rate values from the predicted values obtained using KAS and Friedman methods.

Abstract The purpose behind this research was to determine the optimum formulation and investigate the cure kinetics of a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA)-based epoxy resin cured by dicyandiamide and diuron for use in prepregs. First, all formulations were examined by the tensile test, and then, the specimens with higher mechanical properties were further investigated by viscometry and tack tests. The cure kinetics of the best formulation (based on tack test) in nonisothermal mode was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry at different heating rates. Kissinger and Ozawa method was used for determining the kinetic parameters of the curing process. The activation energy obtained by this method was 71.43 kJ/mol. The heating rate had no significant effect on the reaction order and the total reaction order was approximately constant ( m + n ≅ 2.1 $m+n\cong 2.1$ ). By comparing the experimental data and the theoretical data obtained by Kissinger and Ozawa method, a good agreement was seen between them. By increasing the degree of conversion, the viscosity decreased; as the degree of conversion increased, so did the slope of viscosity. The results of the tack test also indicated that the highest tack could be obtained with 25% progress of curing.
