Abstract

The cure technology of bisphenol A type vinyl ester resin system applying to RTM was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The curing reaction equation of the resin system was ascertained by Kissinger and Crane equations. The equation was t=1-[1-5 584.65exp(-4 352.90/T)t]6.67. Gelling temperature, curing temperature and post-treating temperature were calculated by extrapolating Ttemperature-Heating rate (T-β) curves and were 61.66℃, 74.55℃, 95.49℃, respectively. In practice, due to internal heat of reaction, applicable temperature need to reduce. The curing reaction equation and cure parameters have great significance for Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) process.
