  Abstract

  In this contribution we have performed the kinetic analysis of the curing process and of its thermal decomposition. Due to the presence of a peroxide initiator, polymerization is a complex process involving an induction period for a fast cross-linking reaction. From the kinetic analysis, we have been able to characterize the induction time and the degradation kinetics. Finally, from the analysis of the volatiles we have determine that the main volatile generated during decomposition is the monomer.
