Abstract:

The cure kinetics and mechanisms of 4,4'-diamiodiphenyl methane(TGDDM) epoxy/4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone(DDS) modified with various composition of polysulfone nanofibers are studied using differential scanning calorimetry.The results show that the autocatalytic mechanism is observed by the PSF-nanofiber-modified epoxy;the curing rate and the extend of curing of the modified system are accelerated with the addition of PSF-nanofiber.

Key words: epoxy resin, polysulfone, nanofiber, cure kinetics
