The curing kinetics of bisphenol-F epoxy resin (BPFER)/4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) system were studied by isothermal experiments using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Autocatalytic behavior was shown in the first stages of the cure for the system, which could be well described by the model proposed by Kamal that includes two rate constants, k1 and k2, and two reaction orders, m and n. The curing reaction at the later stages was practically diffusion-controlled due to the onset of gelation and vitrification. To consider the diffusion effect more precisely, diffusion factor, f(α), was introduced into Kamal's equation. Thus, the curing kinetics could be predicted well over the whole range of conversion covering both pre- and postvitrification stages. The glass transition temperatures (Tgs) of the BPFER/DDS system isothermally cured partially were determined by means of torsional braid analysis (TBA), and the results showed that Tgs increased with conversion up to a constant value. The highest Tg was 406.2 K. The thermal degradation kinetics of cured BPFER were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), revealing two decomposition steps. |
