Curing Kinetic Models of Resins for Microwave Assisted Pultrusion
摘要整理
Traditional description of the rate of the thermoset resin reaction by the Arrhenius relationship multiplied by a reaction function has been used in this study. The Kissinger method and ASTM E 698 procedure have been used for a determination of parameters of the Arrhenius relationship. N -th order, Prout-Tompkins and Kamal-Sourour models have been used and evaluated as the reaction functions to formulate the curing kinetic models of an epoxy resin.An engineering tool based on Microsoft Excel code has been developed by using the developed methodology. This tool has been successfully applied for a building of the curing kinetic model of vinyl ester resin with high microwave absorption properties to be used in the microwave assisted pultrusion processes.
