Abstract

The curing behavior of glass fiber reinforced epoxy prepregs based on Bisphenol-A (BPA) was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The total heat of reaction(${\Delta}H_{total}=280.3J/g$) was determined based on the results of the dynamic heating scanning experiments. Isothermal experiments were carried out at $110{\sim}130^{\circ}C$, and it was observed that the maximum conversion and the maximum reaction rate were increased as temperature increased. Also Kamal equation was applied to analyze autocatalytic reaction of epoxy prepregs. The higher temperatures, the greater reaction rate constants ($k_1$, $k_2$). Theoretical values were calculated by these reaction rate constants and compared with experimental values. And it was confirmed that they were in reasonable agreement. At the beginning of the reaction, the experimental data and theoretical prediction were shown the same tendency, but at the end of reaction, the experimental data were smaller than theoretical predicted values due to reaction rates controlled by diffusion.

본 연구에서는 시차주사열량계(differential scanning calorimetry, DSC)를 이용하여 유리섬유로 보강된 BPA계 에폭시 프리프레그의 경화 거동을 확인하였다. 기지재로 사용된 에폭시 수지의 전체 발열량(${\Delta}H_{total}=280.3J/g$)을 측정하기 위해 승온 실험을 하였다. $110{\sim}130^{\circ}C$ 등온 조건에서 측정된 발열량을 통해 높은 온도 조건일수록 최대 전환율과 최대 반응 속도가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 에폭시 프리프레그의 자기 촉매 반응을 해석하기 위해 Kamal 방정식을 적용하였으며 높은 온도 조건에서 반응 속도 상수($k_1$, $k_2$)가 큰 값으로 나타났다. 이때 얻어진 반응 속도 상수를 이용해 계산한 이론 추정치와 실험치를 비교한 결과 잘 부합하는 것을 확인하였다. 반응 초기에는 두 값이 유사하나 반응이 최종 단계에서는 반응 속도가 확산에 의해 결정되는 현상으로 인해 반응 속도의 실험치가 이론 추정치보다 더 작은 반응 속도 값을 가짐을 확인하였다.
