The cure behaviour of two resin formulations (with high and low curing agent content respectively) of an epoxy resin system, used as matrix for carbon ®bre composites, was studied through calorimetric analysis. The aim of this work is to investigate the kinetics of this speci®c epoxy system in order

## Abstract Room temperature mechanical properties, such as flexural strength and impact resistance, of epoxies and graphite/epoxy composites go through a maximum as a function of epoxy conversion. For tetraglycidyl 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane (TGDDM)‐4,4′‐diamlnodiphenylsulfone (DDS) formulations,
An out-of-autoclave rapid heating/low pressure technique has been used to cure polyethersulfone (PES) toughened HexPly 8552. Mode I and mode II tests were conducted to evaluate the fracture toughness of the composites and the effectiveness of cure was determined through thermal analysis. When compar
