## Abstract The article describes the effect of structure of vinyl ester resins (VE) on the mechanical properties of neat sheets as well as glass fabricβreinforced composites. Different samples of VE were prepared by reacting ester of hexahydrophthalic anhydride (ER) and methacrylic acid (MAA) (1 :

The relationships among cure temperature, chemical kinetics, microstructure, and mechanical performance have been investigated for vinyl-ester resins. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to follow the reactions of vinyl-ester and styrene during isothermal curing of Dow Derakane 411-C-50
The curing kinetics of dimethacrylate-based vinyl ester resins were studied by scanning and isothermal DSC, gel time studies, and by DMTA. The rate of polymerization was raised by increased methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) concentration but the cocatalyst, cobalt octoate, retarded the reaction ra
