1,1-Bis(t-hexylperoxy)-3,3,5-trimethyl cyclohexane was introduced to thermally initiate the curing of vinyl ester resin, and a dynamic differential scanning calorimetry method was applied to investigate the thermally initiated curing procedures.

The cure kinetics of Derakane 411-350, a kind of vinyl ester resin, and its suspensions containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes( MWCNTs) were investigated via non-isothermal dynamic scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. The results showed that incorporation of MWCNTs into vinyl ester resin excessively reduces polymerization degree and crosslinking density of vinyl ester resin. For suppressing the negative effect caused by nanotubes, the higher temperature initiator combined with the initiator MEKP was used. Dynamic-mechanical Behavior testing was then carried out on the cured sample in order to relate the curing behavior of MWCNTs modified resin suspensions to mechanical response of their resulting nanocomposites. It was revealed that nanocomposites containing MWCNTs possessed larger storage modulus values as well as higher glass transition temperatures (Tg) as compared to those without MWCNTs after using mixed intiators system to improve the degree of cure.

Thermal analysis is applied on aluminum alloys by researchers to investigate mainly phase transformations, while it is regularly used for quality control purposes in industry. Techniques like cooling curve analysis, differential thermal analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and isothermal calorimetry are amongst those most frequently used by scientists and engineers. These techniques will be described, and a mathematical description of the results will be developed. State-of-the-art quantification methods applied on aluminum alloys will be presented and criticized based on specific examples taken from the literature.

The inclusion of 0.25 and 0.5 wt.% functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into a vinyl ester (VE) resin has been studied. To investigate the effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersion, the sonication process has been performed under a variety of parameters including mixing time and sonication amplitude. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and 3-point flexural testing methods have been employed to explore the thermo-mechanical properties of materials. Differential scanning calorimetry results show up to 13°C increase in the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the VE polymer by introducing 0.25 wt.% CNTs with a total sonication energy of 60 KJ. It is also established that the flexural modulus of the polymer can be improved up to 24%. An array indentation technique has been used to evaluate the hardness and elastic modulus variations in the regions of nanoparticle concentration. The resulting variations along the indentation array have been statistically studied using three-parameter Weibull distribution. Based on the resulting dispersion conditions, the optimum sonication parameters and nanoparticle concentration have been determined.

Abstract Vinyl ester resin networks formed by using mixture of diluents were prepared. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) diluent was mixed in various proportions with vinyl ester resin which was already premixed with styrene diluent (45 wt. %). Weight ratios e.g. 80:20, 70:30 and 60:40 of VE resin: MMA diluents were studied. Viscoelastic properties of the cross-linked resin were studied by dynamic mechanical analyzer in terms of storage modulus and tanδ. Thermal analysis was performed using non-isothermal mode of Differential scanning calorimetry. The samples with mixed diluents, showed higher modulus, and glass transition temperature in comparison to that of the pure vinyl ester-styrene resin cross-linked in presence of styrene only. The difference in thermal stability between vinyl ester-styrene and vinyl ester-MMA-styrene was checked. Vinyl Ester - 20 wt. % MMA-Styrene samples have the best thermal property among all other prepared samples. Multiphase morphology was formed for the thermoset crosslinked with mixed diluents in contrast to that formed with single diluent. With increase in MMA content in the resin dispersed domain size increased.
