Abstract
From the peak reaction temperatures as a function of heating rate, the activation energies were obtained for a system consisting of an epoxy resin (Badge n=0) and a curing agent (isophorone diamine), using a Pe rkin Elmer DSC7 operated in the dynamic mode. At the same time, the Ar rhenius law was used to calculate rate constants.
