Determination of the Kinetic Parameters of the Curing Reaction of Epoxy-Imide Binder and Prepregs Based on It from Differential Scanning Calorimetry Data

Curing reactions of epoxy-imide binder and two prepregs based on it were studied by the method of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The effective activation energies were found, and predictions of storage time and curing time at given temperatures to different degrees of curing were made. The influence of fillers on prepreg curing kinetics was found.
