Curing of epoxy resins with aliphatic diamines at low temperatures deviates from the 4EQ mechanism (catalytic and non-catalytic dual path) at relatively low conversions, far from vitrification. Although the Horie mechanism relies on a third order reaction it iCuring of epoxy resins with aliphatic diamines at low temperatures deviates from the 4EQ mechanism (catalytic and non-catalytic dual path) at relatively low conversions, far from vitrification. Although the Horie mechanism relies on a third order reaction it is possible a more realistic approach to epoxy curing kinetics if a detailed analysis of auto-acceleration is made. A single parameter dependent only on the nature of the amine is proposed.[+][-]
