In this paper, the expert cure system for carbon fiber epoxy composite materials, which controls the temperature and pressure of the autoclave according to the several rules, was developed to manufacture better composite products in shorter curing time. The rules were based on the on-line measured quantities such as the dielectric properties and temperature of the composites and the pressure of the autoclave. The curing time and the mechanical properties of the composite materials manufactured with the expert cure system were compared to those of the specimens manufactured with the conventional cure cycle.

In general, manufacturing processes of thermosetting composites consist of mold filling and resin cure. The important parameters used in modeling and designing mold filling are the permeability of the fibrous preform and the viscosity of the resin. To consolidate a composite, resin cure or chemical reaction plays an essential role. Cure kinetics. Therefore, is necessary to quantify the extent of chemical reaction or degree of cure. It is also important to predict resin viscosity which can change due to chemical reaction during mold filling. There exists a heat transfer between the mold and the composite during mold filling and resin cure. Cure kinetics is also used to predict a temperature profile inside composite. In this study, a new scheme which can determine cure kinetics from dynamic temperature scaning was proposed. The method was applied to epoxy resin system and was verified by comparing measurements and predictions.

The photostabilization and cure kinetics of UV-curable, optical resins containing various formulations of photostabilizers were investigated to determine the system with the highest cure conversion and durability. Photo-DSC analysis revealed that increasing the concentration of a UV absorber (UVA) decreased both the crosslink density and the cure rate due to competition for the incident photons between the photoinitiator and the UVA, whereas including a hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) hardly affected either the cure conversion or the cure rate due to its very low absorption of 365 nm. This result was confirmed by FTIR-ATR spectroscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy analyses. QUV ageing experiments showed that the cure conversion and durability were the highest for the UVA/HALS formulation at a ratio of 1 : 2, which is due to their synergistic action.

Influence of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) types and cure systems on cure characteristics of foaming EVA compounds were investigated. Three kind EVAs with different VA contents were employed. Influence of triallyl cyanurate (TAC) and dicumylperoxide (DCP) content on the cure characteristics were examined. The minimum torque ($T_{min}$) and delta torque (${\Delta}T$) decreased as the VA content increased. The ${\Delta}T$ was increased by adding TAC and by increasing the DCP content. For the foaming EVA compounds without TAC, the cure times such as the minimum cure time ($t_{min}$), scorch time ($t_2$), and optimal cure time ($t_{90}$) did not show a specific trend according to the DCP contents. For the foaming EVA compounds containing TAC, the cure times decreased as the DCP content increased. From the experimental results, it was found that efficienct DCP/TAC ratio for improvement of the crosslink density was 1.1~2.0.

Neopentyl glycoI(NPG) 의 함량변화에 따른 diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA)/4,4' -methylene dianiline (MDA) 계의 등온적 경화거동을 DSC를 이용하여 분석하였다. DGEBA/MDA 계의 경화속도를 증가시키기 위하여 NPG를 첨가하였다. NPG 함량에 관계없이 전화율 곡선이 s-자 모양이었으며, 이것은 DGEBA/MDA/NPG 계의 경화반응이 자촉매 반응 메커니즘에 따른다는 것을 의미한다. NPG의 함량이 증가함에 따라 경화속도가 증가하였으며, 이것은 NPG가 가지고 있는 두 개의 hydroxyl 기가 촉매로 작용하기 때문이다.

NR composites with different curing systems were aged thermally at 60, 70, 80, and $90^{\circ}C$ for 2-185 days in a convection oven, and the changes in the crosslink density were investigated as a function of the accelerated thermal aging. The overall crosslink densities increased with increasing aging time irrespective of the aging temperatures and curing systems. The changes in crosslink density were enhanced by increasing the aging temperature. The degree of the increased crosslink density was in the following order: "the conventional cure system > the semi-EV system > the EV system". For short term thermal aging, the change in crosslink density with the aging time was complicated, particularly for low temperature aging. The activation energies of the change in crosslink density with thermal aging using the conventional and semi-EV cure systems increased and then remained relatively constant with increasing aging time, whereas that of the specimen with an EV cure system tended to increase linearly. The experimental results were explained by the dissociation of the existing polysulfidic linkages and the formation of new cross links through the crosslinking-related chemicals remaining in the sample.

비즈페놀 A 에폭시 수지와 폴리옥시프로필렌 디아민 경화제계의 경화 반응속도를 시차주사열량계을 이용하여 승온 및 등온 경화조건에서 조사하였다. 승온실험에서는 Ozawa와 Kissinger법을 이용하여 다양한 가열속도에서 얻어진 발열피크의 이동으로부터 활성화 에너지를 구하였다. 또한 등온실험에서 얻어진 데이터는 자촉매 효과를 고려한 Kamal의 속도모델로 분석하였으며, 그 결과 경화반응 초기의 속도우세 구간에서 실험데이터와 잘 맞았다. 반응 후기의 확산우세 구간에서는 확산효과를 적용하여 경화의 전체과정을 기술하였다. 또한 동역학분석을 이용하여 경화 후 저장 탄성률과 가교점간의 평균분자량을 측정하였다.
