The epoxy mixture containing about 2 p.h.r. <strong>of</strong> this organic sensitizer has been<br />

prepared according to the procedure illustrated in the section 2.1.3 on page 54.<br />

The components quantity used in these experiments are listed in Table 3.29. The<br />

system has been submitted to a microwave curing process in the oven, working as<br />

a static cavity, <strong>and</strong> selecting the oven parameters reported in Table 3.30. These<br />

parameters allow the complete conversion <strong>of</strong> the epoxy mixture free from additives,<br />

as verified through the experiments presented in the section 3.9 on page 116.<br />
