Abstract
A combinatory model of curing process in a mixture of multifunctional active components was developed. The model was tested with an analysis of curing kinetics in epoxy resin based on Bisphenol A with amine hardener. The experimental kinetics data obtained with FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, chromatography and viscosimetry methods were applied. The theoretical results show good agreement with experiment. The model can predict a concentration of middle products during curing reaction. The model is developed for calculation of the curing kinetics in free space environment.
