Abstract

The effect of carbon fillers on the curing behavior of epoxy resins was investigated. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used for the study of the curing behavior. It was observed that the presence of a carbon filler in an epoxy resin with a linear amine curing agent increased the heat of the curing reaction. The presence of a carbon filler also found to accelerate the curing reaction by decreasing the maximum exothermic heat flow temperature, especially when the filler was carbon black.
