Abstract: 
A simple method to calculate the parameters of the autocatalytic-like kinetic model of the cure of a thermoset has been proposed and verified experimentally. The method, based on graphic analysis of isothermal DSC test results, has been applied to develop a kinetic model for the polymerization reaction of a thermosetting dicyanate polymer used as a matrix of high-performance composite
