A Cure Study on Alumina-Trihydrate Reinforced Allylester Resins by Differential Scanning Calorimetry
Allylester prepolymers were synthesized by transesterification, and curing kinetics of alumina trihydrate reinforced allylester resins was studied by means of a differential scanning calorimetry dynamic experiment. The activation energies and the frequency factors of the reinforced allylester prepolymers were estimated by means of Ozawa’s and Kissinger’s methods. The values determined from the Ozawa method are higher than those from the Kissinger method. The peak exotherm temperature of reinforced allylester resin was shifted to a lower temperature as the concentration of curing agent increased. The peak exotherm temperature of reinforced allylester resin was, however, shifted to a higher temperature as the content of alumina trihydrate increased. In the case of the dynamic experiment, both the activation energy and the frequency factor decreased as the concentration of curing agent was increased. Meanwhile, there exist minimum values of both the activation energy and the frequency factor with varying contents of alumina trihydrate.
