| Abstract: | The cure kinetics for a commercial epoxy have been established and the influence of 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 of the viscoelastic properties of the epoxy during isothermal cure from gelation to after vitrification. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
