Abstract
A new, nickel‐coated graphite resistance‐change‐based method for gel‐point determination for epoxy‐based thermoset resins is presented and compared with DSC and rheological methods. Gelation times determined by this new method are in very good agreement with conventional techniques; this new method is potentially simpler and less time consuming than existing ones.
