Abstrakt: The volume changes which occur during the cure of resins employed as matrices for carbon fibre-reinforced plastics have been monitored. A description of the apparatus is given and detailed results throughout the curing cycles of resins Derakane 411-48/MEKP, Epikote 828/MNA/BDMA and XB2878A/XB2878B are reported, together with results for the later stages of cure of resin DLS 351/BF3400. Conclusions are drawn concerning: (i) the overall percentage volume contraction during cure, (ii) the shape and time-scale of the curing characteristics in relation to the state of completion of the curing process, (iii) the approximate location of the temperature below which no further shrinking due to polymerization or cross-linking is likely to occur.
