Analysis of kinetic parameters of an urethane-acrylate resin for pultrusion process
An urethane-acrylic resin for a pultrusion processing application was studied. The concentration of Perkadox 16 and methyl methacrylate (MMA) was changed in the formulation mixture. A calorimetric study was performed in a DSC equipment. Isothermal runs from 42 to 60 degrees C were performed to obtain a kinetic model for the polymerization reaction. Conversion of vitrification as a function of temperature was determined and the total heat of reaction as a function of MMA. content was also measured. A general kinetic model was applied. An autocatalytic model and master-curve approach with an order of reaction of it + m = 2 and an activation energy of 95.9 kJ/mol were found. By the application of the Kissinger model for dynamic runs, an activation energy of 88.8 kJ/mol was obtained.
