Thermal and Cure Kinetics of Epoxy Molding Compounds Cured with Thermal Latency Accelerators

A numerical procedure for simulating thermal oxidation diffusion of epoxy molding compounds

Thermal Rheological Analysis of Cure Process of Epoxy Prepreg

The cure process of epoxy prepreg used as composite pipe joints was studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Bohlin Rheometer and other techniques. Isothermal DSC measurements were conducted between 110 and 220 C, at 10 C intervals. The results show that the complete cure reaction could be achieved at 220 C. The isothermal cure process was simulated with the four-parameter a...

Influence of nano-AlN particles on thermal conductivity, thermal stability and cure behavior of cycloaliphatic epoxy/trimethacrylate system

We have prepared a series of nano-sized aluminium nitride (nano-AlN)/cycloaliphatic epoxy/trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) systems and investigated their morphology, thermal conductivity, thermal stability and curing behavior. Experimental results show that the thermal conductivity of composites increases with the nano-AlN filler content, the maximum value is up to 0.47 W/(m!K). Incorporation of a smal...

Curing behavior and thermal properties of trifunctional epoxy resin cured by 4, 4’-diaminodiphenyl sulfone

A novel trifunctional epoxy resin 4-(3, 3-dihydro-7-hydroxy-2, 4, 4-trimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-2-yl)-1, 3-benzenediol glycidyl (shorted as TMBPBTH-EPOXY) was synthesized in our lab to improve thermal performance. Its curing behavior and performance were studied by using 4, 4′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) as hardener with the mass ratio of 100:41 of TMBPBTH-EPOXY and DDS. The curing activation e...

Thermal Principles and Kinetics

Thermal processing of food materials is one of the most widely used methods of food preservation. Foods may be thermally processed using numerous heating systems such as retorts (batch or continuous), direct heating systems (steam injection or steam infusion), indirect heating systems (tubular heat exchangers, shell and tube heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers, scraped surface heat exchanger...
