This article presents a comparison of data obtained from a low-temperature cure of an epoxy/amine system by three independent cure monitoring techniques: ultrasonic wave propagation, dielectric permittivity, and nuclear magnetic resonance. The sizes and thermal histories of the samples studied by the three techniques were controlled for comparability between the methods. The three techniques gave consistent information on the progress of cure and were complementary, in that each was particularly sensitive to different stages of the cure process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
