Abstract: The curing kinetics of epoxy resin FM94 adhesive was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at different heating rates. The activation energies of the curing reaction were calculated based on Model-Free method by analyzing DSC curves at different heating rates, and the curing mechanism of FM94 adhesive was explained. The most probable curing mechanism function was determined by Malek method. The results indicated that the two-parameter (m, n) autocatalytic model can well describe the curing reaction process of FM94 adhesive. The fractional conversion of DSC curves obtained using the experimental data showed a good agreement with the curves calculated theoretically under 2 K/min~10 K/min heating rates.

Key words: dynamic DSC, FM94 adhesive, curing mechanism, Model-Free method, Malek method
