Application of isothermal and model-free isoconversional modes in DSC measurement for the curing process of the PU system
The dynamic, isothermal, and model-free isoconversional modes of differential scanning calorimetry measurement were used to monitor the curing process of the polyurethane system. Conversions obtained from these three methods were in good agreement with one another, indicating that isothermal and model-free isoconversional modes can successfully be used for monitoring the curing process. For the isothermal mode, the highest reaction rate occurred at time zero, and autoacceleration was not observed for this system. From the model-free isoconversional mode, it was possible to calculate the activation energy changes during the curing process.
