Time–Temperature-Transformation (TTT) Cure Diagram of an Epoxy–Amine System
Abstract
A time–temperature-transformation diagram is created for the curing reaction of a diglycidylether bisphenol A (DGEBA)-based epoxy resin. It results from a kinetic analysis performed by means of dynamical differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements; a gelation curve determined with isothermal and dynamical rheological tests; and a vitrification curve obtained from temperature-modulated dynamic DSC measurements. The resulting diagram is validated by comparison of isothermal measurements with the corresponding calculated curves.
