Curing Reaction Kinetics of Epoxy/MWCNT-P Composites
Abstract:
The effects of the functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-P) on the curing behavior of a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A epoxy (DGEBA) in the presence of 4,4'-methylenedianiline were investigated by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry. Activation energy (Ea) was obtained through Kissinger and Ozawa methodsItalic text respectively, and reaction order(n) was educed by Crane equation. The results showed that the addition of MWCNT-P enhanced the cure reaction of DGEBA with 4,4'-methylenedianiline, compared with pure epoxy system, epoxy containing MWCNT-P exhibited a lower activation energy. Both systems presented the same reaction orders, which indicated MWCNT-P did not change the auto-catalytic cure reaction mechanism of the epoxy resin.
