Abstract:
Thermosetting blend system of co-cured cyanate ester with epoxy resin is receiving importance for high technological applications because of its wide range of
thermo-mechanical, rheological, and electrical properties. However, processing of these system warrant proper
knowledge of the rheological behavior of the blend during
the curing process. This article discusses the rheological behavior of the blend systems with respect to the pot life,
gel time, gelation temperature and also evaluated fitting parameters for the prediction of gelation time and viscosity
during the entire curing process from the isothermal rheological measurements.
