Overview
This paper looks at examples of curing systems through Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) experiments across an array of applications and testing purposes. In all cases, new technology offers the opportunity for improved results in less time.
Curing materials (e.g. thermosets, rubbers) must be thoroughly tested to ensure their quality and reliability. Analysis usually requires DSC instruments to study cure exotherms, glass transitions, and other thermal properties. New DSC technology is drastically improving curing analysis techniques and setting a new standard for accuracy and efficiency. From material development and failure analysis to product quality control, all aspects of cure analysis are evolving. Improved cure testing equates to improved product discovery, safety, and efficacy.
