Abstract

The paper reports the data on the curing reaction of bisphenol A vinyl ester resin in presence of styrene and a monomer based on turpentine, used as reactive diluents. Kinetics of the curing reaction was studied by means of viscometry at temperatures between 60 oC and 90 oC. The viscometric measurements were carried out on a RHEOTEST viscometer, using a cone and plate device at a constant shear rate. Effect both of the reactive diluents content and the temperature on the curing process were also investigated. Participation of the double bond to the curing reaction was proved by infrared spectroscopy (IR)..
