Table 3.9: Time required for the complete conversion <strong>of</strong> the epoxy system<br />
during MW cure processes at different radiation powers.<br />
example the signal obtained with a fragment <strong>of</strong> the sample cured for 175 s with a<br />
power <strong>of</strong> 1500 W is illustrated in Figure 3.13.<br />

1500 W.<br />
At every power, partial microwave cure processes have been performed, for<br />
time less than that required for a complete conversion <strong>and</strong> selected in a way to<br />
obtain a representative trend <strong>of</strong> fractional degree <strong>of</strong> cure. After these time the<br />
residual enthalpy <strong>of</strong> the sample (∆H RES ) has been measured with a DSC dynamic<br />
scan between 0 <strong>and</strong> 250 ◦ Cwithas<strong>of</strong>10 ◦ C/min. These data have been listed in<br />
