“…DSC, differential scanning calorimetry; TG, Thermogravimetry F I G U R E 5 The TG/DTG/DSC thermogram of the epoxy resin with the addition of melamine in the amount of 4 wt% and 8 wt%. DSC, differential scanning calorimetry; TG, Thermogravimetry exothermic peak, associated with the final decomposition of the mixture, shifts towards higher temperatures, from 530 C to approximately 560 C. 2,17,21,36,45 In turn, for kaolin, the first mass loss is related to resin thermosetting and evaporation ( Figure 7). The first exothermic peak at 360 C coincides with the peak for the pure epoxy resin.…”
