Curing studies on modified epoxy and unsaturated polyester resins

effect of initiator on thermal curing of unsaturated polyester resins

one of the common methods to cure unsaturated polyester resins is to use dual initiators. in order to produce an appropriate composite, it is necessary to know the effect of dual initiators on curing behavior. in this paper the effect of benzoyl peroxide, bpo, and tertiary butyl perbenzoate, tbpb, and their mixtures on thermal curing of an unsaturated polyester resin have been investigated. bpo...

Curing studies of unsaturated polyester resin used in FRP products

Fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) products being strong and light in weight, find extensive applications in automobiles, marine, structural and household components. Unsaturated polyester (UP) resin is a principle binder material used in FRP products. Curing of UP resin is a key for successful FRP processing. Gel time (tgel) and peak exothermic temperature (θpeak) are critical measures of curing ...
