Predication of Epoxy Resin Curing Process by Avrami Theory
The cure behavior of DGEBA-MDA system was investigated under both isothermal and dynamic conditions. A detailed analysis of the cure process has been made utilizing the Avrami expression. The kinetic parameters were obtained from the isotherms and were in good agreement with the results front other analytical methods. Then those parameters were used to predict the behavior of the system for nonisothermal conditions.
