Abstract
Curing reaction of three tetrafunctional epoxy resins in the presence of te traethylene tetramine was examined by differential scanning calorimetry at different heating rates. The kinetic parameters of the curing reaction were determined using various computational methods (Barrett, Borchardt-Daniels and Kissinger). The heating rate shows a great influence on the curing pro cess. The activation energy varied in the range 43-80 kJ/mol, and the order of the curing reaction is observed to be approximate to1.0 with slight var iations. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
