What is Autocatalytic cure kinetics from DSC measurements: Zero initial cure rate about?
A new, simplified technique for obtaining the kinetic parameters of an autocatalyzed cure reaction from isothermal DSC measurements is presented. The method is appropriate to reactions that have a zero initial rate and relies solely upon characteristics of the exotherm peak with no assumptions being made about the overall reaction order. This technique is illustrated by obtaining the phenomenological cure kinetics of a commercial epoxy f i l m adhesive. The derived kinetic model reproduces the measured isotherms in their entirety. In addition, the predictive capability of the model is demonstrated by comparison with an independent measurement of the adhesive's low temperature curing behavior. Glass transition temperature measurements are also made on partially cured samples and a good correlation with the degree of cure is found.
