Popis: The combined techniques of radiolabelling and computer simulation provide a powerful way of monitoring the actual mechanisms and reactivity of epoxy cure. The information obtained from this treatment allows the understanding of the structure:activity relationships in epoxy cure reactions and permits the design of curing agents with improved or decreased reactivity. A decreased reactivity would be useful for improving the shelf-life of the resin. A decreased k2 would lead to materials with good tack and drape properties. The potential for controllable B-staging is also evident in such a system with a reduced k2.
