Dynamic mechanical spectroscopy has been used to investigate the cure of a thermoplastically modified trifunctional epoxy resin. The complex dissolution, curing behavior, and variations in the glass transition of the thermoplastic (PSF) phase were described, as was the T g behavior of the epoxy phas

β¦ Synopsis
The cure kinetics for a commercial epoxy have been established and the influence of the degree of cure on the glass transition determined. Time-temperature and time-conversion superposition principles have been built into a model that successfully predicts the development of the viscoelastic properties of the epoxy during isothermal cure from gelation to after vitrification.

Application of a weighted-average model (WAM) to the kinetic evolution of the elasticity during 16 h was successfully performed for a composite gel in which a maltodextrin phase is dispersed within a continuous gelatin phase. The results obtained using the model for different starting compositions a
