Abstract

AbstractDiglycidyl ether of ethylene glycol was prepared and used as a reactive diluent in the curing of an epoxy resin, based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A. Effect of different fortifiers on the curing reaction of the resin‐diluent system has been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry. The dynamic scans were analyzed using four different relations to evaluate the kinetic parameters, the activation energy and the order of the reaction. The reactions are found to follow first order kinetics with an activation energy in the range of 36 – 84 kJ mol‐1.
