Various parameters were found to be important in the cure of epoxy resin, those concerned with the kinetics of the heat evolved from the reaction (such as the order, rate constant and activation energy) and those related to the thermal properties of the resin, such as thermal diffusivity and heat ca

β¦ Synopsis
The dynamic mechanical behavior at about 1 Hz of a fully cured epoxy resin (maximum glass transition temperature, T , , , ca. 170Β°C) has been studied during and after isothermal annealing in terms of the influence of thermal prehistory, time of annealing, and temperature of annealing ( T,). Annealing temperatures ranged from Tg -15 to Tg -130Β°C. The rate of isothermal annealing was observed to decrease by a decade for each decade increase of annealing time when the material was far from equilibrium. Annealing at high temperatures did not measurably affect the material properties during cooling (for T < < T,); similarly the effect of annealing at low temperatures was not measurable during heating (for T > > T,).
