Abstract
A new class of cationic initiators, lanthanide triflates, has been studied in the curing of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA). The kinetics of t his process has been evaluated by the isoconversional method that has been proved as an excellent tool to predict the technical parameters of this pro cess. The thermal stability of the crosslinked materials has been studied b y thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and their mechanical characteristics by dynamomechanic thermal analysis (DMTA).
