Abstract
An epoxy resin/hardener system, TGDDM/m-PDA, has been studied. A series of isothermal rheological runs provided information about the kinetics of curing over a temperature range. Both important parameters of the curing reaction (resin/hardener stoichiometry and temperature) were varied and their influence on viscosity was investigated. The dependence of viscosity on temperature was described by using Williams-Landel-Ferry treatment and the gelation process was studied using viscosity profiles during curing cycles.
