Abstract
Course and kinetics of the curing of epoxy resins by acid anhydrides were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The heat of reaction at 107.5°C was found to lie between −302.2to −333.2 J/g (−72.2 to −79.6 cal/g), depending on the composition of the reaction system. For one reaction system measurements were made at three different temperatures. From DSC data the reaction order and rate constants were evaluated. Between 18 to 80% conversion the curing reaction was found to be 0.5 order, and from 80 to 98% conversion to be first order. From the rate constants using the Arrhenius equation the activation energy was calculated. The values of the activation energy are 58.2 KJ/mol (13.9 kcal/mol) for 0.5 order and 56.1 KJ/mol (13.4 kcal/mol) for first order reaction. Unter Anwendung der Differential-Scanning-Calorimetrie (DSC) wurden der Verlauf und die Kinetik der Hartung von Epoxid-Harzen untersucht. Es wurde gefunden, das die Reaktionswarme bei 107,5°C, in Abhangigkeit von der Zusammensetzung des Reaktionssystems, zwischen −302,2 und −333,2 J/g (−72,2 bis −79,6 cal/g) betragt. Fur ein System wurden die Messungen bei drei verschiedenen Temperaturen durchgefuhrt. Aus den DSC-Kurven wurden die Reaktionsordnung und die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeitskonstanten bestimmt. Es wurde gefunden, das die Reaktion zwischen 18 und 80% Umsatz nach der Ordnung 0,5 und zwischen 80 und 98% Umsatz nach der ersten Ordnung verlauft. Aus den Geschwindigkeitskonstanten wurden nach der Arrheniusschen Gleichung die Aktivierungsenergien ausgerechnet, und zwar fur die 0,5te Ordnung 58,2 KJ/mol (13,9kcal/mol) und fur die erste Ordnung 56,1 KJ/mol(13,4kcal/mol).
