Abstract
This work examines the effects of level of silica filler (at 0, 10, 30, 50βwt%) on the gelation and vitrification of a model silicaβfilled diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F (DGEBF)/methylenedianiline (MDA) system. An increased filler level is shown to decrease the gelation and vitrification times at low temperatures (below 80βΒ°C). FTIR cure kinetics show that the reaction rates are increased and the activation energies of gelation are reduced at these temperatures, indicating that network formation is made easier. Entropic and catalytic reasons for this phenomenon are discussed.
