| Abstract: | The Williams-Landel-Ferry (W-L-F) equation was shown to describe the temperature dependence of the viscosity of a sulfonium accelerated, amine cured epoxy resin that had been formulated for pultrusion. The reference temperature and the viscosity at the reference temperature of the W-L-F equation were found to be simple functions of the resin advancement as determined by isothermal differential scanning calorimetry, A method is described of constructing the baseline for temperature-programmed differential scanning calorimetry analyses in which the heat capacity is changing due to reaction. |
