Investigation of the effect of a microwave field on the curing process and properties of epoxy compositions

We present experimental data on the rate and degree of curing of epoxy compositions discretely reinforced with alumina fibers and filled with barium titanate powder on exposure to microwave radiation. We observed the enhancement of the process of epoxy polymer formation, revealed the dominating effe...

Summary:We present experimental data on the rate and degree of curing of epoxy compositions discretely reinforced with alumina fibers and filled with barium titanate powder on exposure to microwave radiation. We observed the enhancement of the process of epoxy polymer formation, revealed the dominating effect of the filler--polymer interface on the extent of the conversion of a binder and on the properties of heterogeneous compositions cured in a microwave field.
