From the equation <strong>of</strong> the interpolating line it is possible to calculate the values<br />
<strong>of</strong> activation energy E a <strong>and</strong> the hyperbolic logarithm <strong>of</strong> the pre-exponential factor<br />
ln (k 0 ) for the conventional curing process.<br />
