Abstract
In this paper, organic aluminum compound, aluminum tris (tetradecylacetoacetate) (Al-14) was synthesized, and its molecular structure was identified by IR spectrum. The investigation of the curing kinetic of epoxy resin system with PhS (4, 4-dihydroxydiphenylsulfone)/aluminum tris (tetradecylacetoacetate) (Al-14) latent catalysts was performed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using an isothermal approach. All kinetic parameters of the curing reaction including the reaction order and activation energy were calculated and reported. The results indicated that the curing reaction of Ep/PhS/Al-14 compand system in this experiment proceeded through an autocatalytic kinetic mechanism.
