Figure 3.4: Cure enthalpy <strong>of</strong> EC 57-K 21 mixture with dynamic scan at<br />

10 ◦ C/min.<br />

up to 200 ◦ C on the same sample has enabled the evaluation <strong>of</strong> the glass transition<br />

temperature as shown in Figure 3.5<br />

In this case the glass transition temperature is equal to:<br />

T g = 107, 93 ◦ C (3.3)<br />

In Table 3.1 the results <strong>of</strong> four double dynamic scans at heating rates <strong>of</strong> 5, 10, 15<br />

<strong>and</strong> 20 ◦ C/min have been summarized.<br />
