Abstract
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to monitor the degree of cure within epoxy-carboxyl-terminated modifier (CTBN) samples cure d at 50 +/- 1 degrees C. At this temperature, all samples were found t o achieve 80% of conversion within 1000 min or less. CTBN accelerates the curing process and modifies the cross-linked network. The DSC was also used to measure the extent of 'physical aging' which took place d uring the cure process.
