Cure Monitoring of Epoxy Resin by Simultaneous DSC/FTIR

Abstract:

The cross-linking kinetics of an epoxy/amine resin system was studied using the conventional DSC and FTIR spectroscopy, respectively. Conventional DSC was modified to accommodate two fibre optic probes which could be used to monitor the spectra of epoxy/amine resin system during cure. The cross-linking kinetics for the epoxy/amine resin system obtained via the conventional DSC and FTIR and simultaneous DSC/FTIR were similar. The feasibility of using a simple bifurcated fibre optic probe to link the DSC to the FTIR spectrometer was demonstrated.
