Abstract
AbstractThe application of a free vibration technique to the study of the cross‐linking of an epoxy resin by an amine is demonstrated. Curing curves are presented showing the changes in dynamic mechanical flexural modulus and damping during reaction. At room temperature, the glass transition point is reached after a conversion of about 65% of the epoxide groups. Comparisons of the dynamic mechanical and infrared curing curves indicate a lowering of the reaction rate after this point is reached. Finally, an activation energy for the epoxy‐amine cross‐linking reaction is calculated.
