Abstract
Polycondensation kinetics of epoxy-amine model systems were investigated with inverse gas chromatography. The results obtained were applied to the study of cross-linking kinetics of two epoxy prepolymers, tetraglycidyl diamino diphenyl methane and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A, with diamino diphenyl sulphone. Data furnished by inverse gas chromatography showed zones of gelation and of vitrification. Based on kinetics established by isothermal microcalorimetry, it was possible to determine reaction advancement in these transition zones. The results show that advancement of both reaction systems to the transition points T 1 and T 2 is very sensitive to curing temperature and to the stoichiometry of the mixture. Finally, the vitreous transition temperatures of the cross-linked systems were determined and compared to those determined with differential scanning calorimetry.
