Cure kinetics of DGEBA/MDA/MN system with and without HQ were studied by Fractional life method and Kissinger equation. And the effect of HQ as a catalyst was studied. As cure temperature increased, the reaction rate increased and reaction order was almost constant. The activation energy of the system with HQ was lower about 13% and the reaction rate was higher than that of the system without HQ. It was because hydroxyl group of HQ formed a transition state with epoxide group and amine group and opened the epoxide ring easily and rapidly.

The cure kinetics of a cycloalipatic epoxy / anhydride / Co(II) system for a no-flow underfill encapsulant, has been studied by using a differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) under isothermal and dynamic conditions over the temperature range of $160^{\circ}C ~220^{\circ}C$. The kinetic analysis was carried out by fitting dynamic/isothermal heating experimental data to the kinetic expressions to determine the reaction parameters, such as order of reaction and reaction constants. Diffusion-controlled reaction has been observed as the cure conversion increases and successfully analyzed by incorporating the diffusion control term into the rate equation. The prediction of reaction rates by the model equation corresponded well to experimental data at all temperature.

This study is about cure kinetics of DGEBA/MDA/MN(malononitrile) system by Barrett method and Integral method using DSC dynamic run. Curing behavior was shown through DSC and the heat change involved in a reaction could be measured directly with DSC. The kinetic parameters such as activation energy, pre-exponential factor and reaction order were given by Barrett method and Integral method obtained in an assumption that the area of DSC enthalpic analysis curve was propotional to the enthalpic change.

The effects of 1 mol% N-benzylpyrazinium hexafluoroantimonate(BPH) as a thermal latent initiator and blend compositions composed of cycloaliphatic and DGEBA epoxies were investigated in the rheological properties and cure kinetics. Latent properties were performed by measurement of the conversion as a function of reaction time using isothermal DSC at $150^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ Rheological properties of the blend systems were investigated in terms of isothermal experiments using a rheometer. The gelation time was obtained from the evaluation of storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G") and damping factor (tan$\delta$)). Cross-linking activation energy ($E_c$) was also determined from the Arrhenius equation based on gel time and curing temperature. As a result, the gel time and cross-linking activation energy increased with increasing DGEBA composition. The cure activation energies ($E_a$) were obtained by Kissinger method using dynamic DSC thermograms. In this work, the cure activation energy decreased with increasing CAE concentration, which might be resulted from the short repeat units, simple side-groups and viscosity of reaction media.edia.

The cure characteristics of metal particle filled DGEBA/MDA/SN/ zeolite epoxy resin composite system for EMI shielding were investigated by dynamic DSC run method and FT-lR spectroscopy. As the heating rate increased, the peak temperature on dynamic DSC curve increased because of the rapid cure reaction. From the straight line of the Kissinger plot, the curing reaction activation energy and pre-exponential factor could be obtained. As the post-curing time at 15$0^{\circ}C$ increased, the glass increased the glass transition temperature or the thermal stability increased. When the post curing time is too long, the system filled with metallic Al particle can be thermally oxidized by the catalytic reaction of metal filler and the thermal stability of the composite for the EMI shielding application may be decreased.

The investigation of cure kinetics, morphology, and fracture toughness studies on epoxy resin/amine terminated PEI/Anhydride system were performed by differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. Modified autocatalystic kinetics model was applied by isothermal scan test. The fracture toughness for the neat epoxy resin was 2.15 MPa m0.5 and the fracture toughness was improved 45% as neat epoxy resin system. The generation of secondary phase of AT-PEI was observed and its size was grown up by increasing contents of PEI.

In this work, biodegradable modified aliphatic polyester (MAP) in tetrafunctional epoxy (4EP) resin was investigated in terms of cure kinetics, thermal stabilities, rheological properties, and mechanical interfacial properties. DSC results of the blends show that the cure activation energies (E$\_$a/) were increased in 10 wt% of MAP compared with neat 4EP, due to the increasing intermolecular interaction between 4EP and MAP. The decomposed activation energies (E$\_$t/) derived from Coats-Redfern method, were increased within the 10∼30 wt% composition range of MAP contents, resulting from increasing the cross-linking density of the blend system. Rheological properties of the blend system were investigated under isothermal condition using a rheometer. Cross-linking activation energies (E$\_$c/) were determined from the Arrhenius equation based on gel time and curing temperature. As a result, the E$\_$c/ showed a similar behavior with E$\_$a/. The fracture toughness (K$\_$IC/) of the mechanical interfacial properties was discussed in semi-IPN behaviors of the casting specimen.

In order to reduce the manufacturing costs of the glass lens, it is necessary to manufacture a lens using a UV curable resin or a thermosetting resin, which is a curable material, in order to replace a glass lens. In the case of forming a lens using a thermosetting material, it is necessary to form several lenses at once using the wafer-level lens manufacturing technologies due to the long curing time of the material. When a lens is manufactured using a curable material, an error in the shape of the lens due to the shrinkage of the material during the curing process is an important cause of defects. The major factors for these shape errors and deformations are the shrinkage and the change of mechanical properties in the process of changing from a liquid material during curing to a solid state after complete curing. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the curing process of the material and to examine the shrinkage rate and change of physical properties according to the degree cure. In addition, it is necessary to proceed with CAE for lens molding using these and to review problems in lens manufacturing in advance. In this study, the viscoelastic properties of the material were measured during the curing process using a rheometer. Using the results, Rheological investigation of cure kinetics was performed. At the same time, The shrinkage of the material was measured and simple mathematical models were created. And using the results, the molding process of a single lens was analyzed using Comsol, a commercial S/W. In addition, the experiment was conducted to compare and verify the CAE results. As a result, it was confirmed that the shrinkage rate of the material had a great influence on the shape precision of the final product.

The isothermal cure behavior of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA) 4,4'-methylene dianiline(MDA) system with various contents of neopentyl glycol(NPG) has been analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). TO increase the cure rate of DGEBA/MDA system, NPG was introduced as an accelerator. Regardless of the NPG content, the shape of the conversion curves showed sigmoid indication that DGEBA/MDA/NPG system followed autocatalytic cure reaction. The cure reaction of DGEBA/MDA system increased with the increment of NPG content and it was due to the catalytic role of hydroxyl groups of NPG.
