Abstract
|
Thermal diffusivity was measured online during cure of an epoxy composite using a method somewhat similar to the Ångström Method. It is shown that a simple experimental setup can be used, thus avoiding expensive instrumentation. The experimental instrumentation is explained in detail. The measurements show an increase of thermal diffusivity during the cure of composite material. Using modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC), heat capacity was measured online during the cure of an epoxy composite. Combining thermal diffusivity measurements with MDSC measurements, the thermal conductivity was found to change during the cure process, similar to the measurements of heat capacity. These changes are referred to vitrification at the end of the cure process.
