Summary

The kinetics of the curing reaction of an epoxy resin based on bisphenol-A diglycidylether with a cycloaliphatic diamine, bis(4-aminocyclohexyl)methane, was studied by differential scanning calorimetry. The measurements were performed both under isothermal conditions and as a function of heating rates. The reaction was also followed by determining the Tg of the resin cured for different time intervals at 150°C. The enthalpy of the reaction was derived from these measurements. The rates and extent of cure were determined. The cycloaliphatic amine used for this study was demonstrated to be more reactive than analogous aromatic systems and yet provided rigid networks with a desirably high Tg.
