Cure kinetics of T700/BMI prepreg used for advanced thermoset composite

A new isothermally based, cure kinetic model for the prepreg was presented using an industrially supplied prepreg rather than pure resin. The matrix resin was bismaleimide (BMI) resins, and the reinforcement was carbon fiber T700–12S. The BMI prepreg was measured from 170 to 220°C by isothermal DSC. The isothermal cure reaction heat increases with the increment of cure temperature. The DSC data were analyzed by the proposed nth‐order reaction model. An increase in reaction rate was observed at higher temperature in both neat and prepreg. After reaching the peak value, the reaction rate dropped off faster in prepreg, resulting in a lower average value of the ultimate heat of reaction. It was suggested the presence of carbon fiber had an effect on the cure kinetics as a heat sink. The carbon fibers imposed restrictions on the molecular mobility of the reactive species and did not change the cure mechanism. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cure monitoring via different techniques: Isothermal cure of an epoxy-novolac molding compound

The isothermal cure of an epoxy-novolac molding compound was studied by means of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and dielectrometry (DE). Results obtained were compared with previous differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) observations. The behavior of epoxide conversion (_FTIR) measured via FTIR was found similar to (but not exactly coinciding with) the extent of cure (_DSC) determined previously by means of DSC. As for the DE analysis, directly measurable properties such as permittivity () and loss factor () varied in a complicated manner during the course of cure, showing strong dependence on both temperature and frequency. Other dielectric parameters (such as ionic conductivity, relaxed permittivity, and characteristic relaxation time) previously suggested in the literature as suitable for cure monitoring purposes were found difficult to determine within the limited frequency range (10⁰ to 10⁴ Hz) here. With some arbitrariness, the relative drop in log (at 100 Hz) was taken as an index (_DE) for the extent of cure. It was observed that _DE behaves in a manner similar to _FTIR and _DSC Comments on the application of these three techniques in the characterization of thermosetting systems were given.     

Cure characteristics,morphology, and mechanical properties of ethylene–propylene–diene–monomer rubber/acrylonitrile butadiene rubber blends

Blends based on ethylene–propylene–diene monomer rubber (EPDM) and acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) was prepared. Sulfur was used as the vulcanizing agent. The effects of blend ratio on the cure characteristics and mechanical properties, such as stress–strain behavior, tensile strength, elongation at break, hardness, rebound resilience, and abrasion resistance have been investigated. Tensile and tear strength showed synergism for the blend containing 30% of NBR, which has been explained in terms of morphology of the blends attested by scanning electron micrographs. A relatively cocontinuous morphology was observed for 70 : 30, EPDM/NBR blend system. The experimental results have been compared with the relevant theoretical models. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Novel nitrogen‐containing epoxy resin. II. Cure kinetics by differential scanning calorimetry

The isothermal and nonisothermal cure behaviors of a novel nitrogen‐containing epoxy resin (XT resin) were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Various kinetic parameters and details of cure process were obtained based on the Avrami theory. The results indicated that Avrami method is suitable for calculating the kinetic parameters up to the gel point at least. The apparent activation energy (E_a) for isothermal cure process was in agreement with that for nonisothermal cure process. E_a value in the early stage (78.5–81.0 KJ mol^?1) was about three times than that in the later stage (23.3–26.5 KJ mol^?1). The kinetic results from Avrami theory may present a combined effect of all factors, and which is helpful to understand the cure technique for XT–DDS system. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

羟甲基共聚酰胺的制备和研究

以甲酸为催化剂，甲醛与共聚酰妥ＰＡ（６／１０１０）缩合，制备羟甲基聚酰胺。利用小角激光散射、ＤＴＡ谱图，比民阻、接触角测定、应力－应弯曲线粘接试验等手段对其进行了研究。羟甲基以后，共聚酰胺的结晶形态发生了变化，熔点下降，断裂力降低但亲水性提高，对铝材的粘接力增大。通过对其固化体系和固化条件的调整，可以增加固化程度并强化对铝材的粘接能力。
