Abstract

The curing process of epoxies in bulk prior to the gelation threshold was investigated using small-angle neutron scattering. Both the radius of gyration and the molecular weight of the partially cured molecular networks were measured at various extents of cure. Two curing agents with different functionality were used to elucidate the curing mechanism. The experimental results were interpreted in terms of the classical Flory-Stockmayer theory and the percolation theory.
