Abstract

The idea of creating an epoxy-based gradient composition with hardeners of varying activities was proposed to control the exothermic effect during the curing process. Both resin and hardeners in powder form were selected to create a composition appropriate for the production of large-scale products. By modeling the thermal balance in Thermal Simulations software (Netzsch) based on data obtained from Thermokinetics 3 (Netzsch), a comparative analysis of temperature fields in thick-walled polymer samples of non-gradient and gradient compositions was carried out. A single-stage constant heating rate mode was developed to create a controlled gradient of the resin conversion from the inner layers of the part to the outer layers. The polymerization front is created by a certain ratio of hardeners with different reactivities in the layers of the matrix. The use of this method can lead to a reduction in the curing time, the prevention of overheating and a decrease in the residual stresses in the composite part.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Materials Science publishes reviews, full-length papers, and short Communications recording original research results on, or techniques for studying the relationship between structure, properties, and uses of materials. The subjects are seen from international and interdisciplinary perspectives covering areas including metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, electrical materials, composite materials, fibers, nanostructured materials, nanocomposites, and biological and biomedical materials. The Journal of Materials Science is now firmly established as the leading source of primary communication for scientists investigating the structure and properties of all engineering materials.
