This book was released on 2006 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Author's abstract] The cure kinetics of a high performance epoxy adhesive system based on TGDDM/DGEBA/DDS/DICY and toughened with carboxy terminated poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene) rubber with aluminum filler was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry. Three different sets of experiments were performed to follow the cure kinetics of the adhesive in a multi-step cure cycle. Three-dimensional plots of data entered into a surface-fitting software allowed for the interpolation of the degree and rate of cure as functions of heating rate and temperature, time and temperature, or time and initial degree of cure. Isothermal cure was modeled successfully using the kinetic model of Kamal. The gel point of the adhesive was measured using dynamic shear rheometry under isothermal conditions. Methods were developed to combine ramp and soak segments so that both the conversion (a) and rate of cure (da/dt) can be followed through a two-step cure cycle of the type used to cure composite prepreg and adhesive in an industrial setting.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced composites can be fabricated by laminating multiple plies into the desired shape, and then cured in an autoclave with simultaneous application of proper heat and pressure. The knowledge of the cure process is very important in order to obtain fully cured and high-quality composites. In-situ sensors capable of monitoring the change of physical and chemical properties during the cure process are therefore desirable. The major aspects of research in this thesis are as follows: The chemical kinetic and rheological properties of AS4/3501-6 Graphite/Epoxy composites are characterized by using Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer. This indicates that at 176°C, the cure reaction is almost fully completed after 60 minutes, and increasing cure temperature results in a noticeable decrease in loss tan 6 and a profound increase in the Tg. Ultrasonic characterization shows that the moduli of 3501-6 epoxy increase with increasing cure temperature, whereas the moduli of AS4/3501-6 composite reach their maximum around 176°C. Also, the moduli of the composite increase with increasing cure time, whereas the moduli of the epoxy, after being cured at 176°C for 80 minutes, exhibit no change. A state-of-the-art fiber-optic and ultrasonic cure processing monitoring system is developed, which consists of ultrasonic transducers with clad buffer rods, Extrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometric fiber-optic sensors, and a special autoclave feedthrough. This system is workable in an autoclave at high temperature and gas pressure, has high ultrasonic signal to spurious noise ratio, and is suited for longitudinal and/or shear wave measurement. The development of properties of the curing AS4/3501-6 composite is monitored by using in-situ fiber-optic and/or ultrasonic sensors, indicating that (1) both sensors can sense the gelation period; (2) the ultrasonic sensor is able to determine the end-of-cure, while the fiber-optic sensor is not; (3) during the cool-down period the development of thermal mismatch strains between the mold plates and the composite panel, prior to and after the detachment, can be detected by the fiber-optic sensor.

Download or read book Characterization Of Epoxy Curing Using High Heating Rate DSC written by Kevin P. Menard and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two common techniques to characterize the curing reaction of an epoxy as a function of time and temperature are heat of reaction and the shift in glass transition. These techniques can both be performed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry. However, both techniques share a common limitation, namely that the curing exotherm may occur during the ramp to isothermal temperature or may overlap with the glass transition event. Since the curing reaction and thus the exotherm is a kinetic event, it is rate dependent. As faster rates are used, the scan can be completed before the onset of the reaction. In an isothermal heat of reaction study, the material can be brought to temperature fast enough that the curing reaction does not begin until it is at temperature. Also, since the glass transition can be measured at high scanning rates, it can be measured before the curing reaction begins. At 100°C/min, the two overlapping events are separated, whereas at 200°C/min, the curing does not occur in the temperature range studied. The glass transition temperature can be measured without affecting the degree of cure, or the exotherm can be shifted to separate it from the glass transition for accurate measurement of enthalpy and the glass transition.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this research, the usage of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and nanoclays in the resin transfer molding (RTM) of biaxially stitched micro-fiber reinforced epoxy matrix composites was investigated to evaluate the role of nanoscale reinforcements on the wetting, flow and end-properties of composites through multi-scale effects. The study primarily focused on characterization of the state of dispersion and curing of nanoscale reinforced epoxy polymers, assessment of the relative importance of viscous forces over interfacial forces and the wettability of glass fabrics by the nanoscale reinforced epoxy polymers, analysis of complex flow of nanoreinforced epoxy systems through glass fiber porous media by several flow properties and evaluation of the properties of hybrid epoxy glassfiber composites enriched with nanoscale particles. The presence of nanoreinforcements retarded the cure kinetics to some degree such that the activation energies increased with the nanoreinforcement content. Both the unsteady-state and steady-state relative tow permeabilities were observed to decrease as the nanoclay amount was increased. The presence of nanoclay was observed to reduce the "tow wet-out" with almost 50 % reduction in the steady-state tow permeability with the addition of 4 wt % nanoclay to the reactive epoxy. Contact angle measurements indicated, approximately 21 % increase in the contact angle with the addition of 4 wt % nanoclay to epoxy. It was found that beyond 0.3 wt % SWNT, RTM of epoxy-60 % biaxially stitched glass fiber systems was not feasible. It was also observed that an addition of SWNT at only 10 % the level of nanoclay caused almost a 25 % increase in steady-state pressure level along with almost an 18 % decrease in permeability. It is believed that nanoreinforcements affected flow rate somewhat differently along the various fabric capillary paths and thereby leading to preferential flow paths in the mold cavity. It is proposed that nanoparticles, particularly at high weight percentages, agglomerate during flow inside the mold cavity and block some intra-tow regions and lead to instabilities in the flow resulting in anomalous pressure differentials at different regions of the flow and unusual permeability results. While the use of nanoreinforcements reduced oxygen and moisture transport along with thermal expansion coefficient, the mechanical properties were found to decrease due to the several defects, such as voids and agglomerates introduced during RTM as a result of the differential micro- and macro-flows.
