Thermal Analysis
• When the epoxy resin and hardener mixture, heat curing reaction starts and releases calories, hardening reaction conducted more vigorous release of the more calories.
Hardening reaction tends to complete, also measured by a decrease of heat that stopped, then it means that the hardening reaction has been completed.
• using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to the extent determined hardening epoxy resin is the most convenient and accurate method.
• It is generally more established research institutes and factories are DSC to do quality control, testing and case hardened epoxy resin processing conditions as the reference, the test methods are heating scans and scheduled scans are two temperature
