Curing kinetics of liquid-crystalline epoxy resins

摘要: Abstract By endcapping mesogenic rigid rod molecules with reactive epoxy groups a novel class of liquid-crystalline thermoset has been obtained. In fact is shown that the nematic molecular arrangement sustained over crosslinking reaction resins when curing carried out in thermal stability range phase. Calorimetric analysis was used characterizing isothermal cure. An unsophisticated model proposed for evaluating activation energies reaction. For lower result respect to cure reactions non resins.
