In this paper, the effect of variations in the amine-to-epoxy ratio r on the glass transition temperature Tg is examined and a method is developed to determine the activation energy.
Abstract
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is used to study the curing behavior of epoxy systems. For non-catalyzed diamine-epoxy systems, the reaction enthalpy ΔH and the glass transition temperature Tg are evaluated and related to the structure of the hardener. A method is developed to determine the activation energy. The effect of variations in the amine-to-epoxy ratio r on Tg is also examined. A maximum value is observed for r = 1. Then, the influence of benzyldimethylamine as catalyst in an anhydride/DGEBA system and in three diamine/DGEBA systems is reported. In the cases of DDS and DDA curing agent the maximum value of Tg is shifted, to r = 0, 6. The results are explained by different reaction mechanisms.
