A complete time–temperature–transformation diagram of the RTM6 epoxy resin used for aerospace applications: integrating cure kinetics, thermal degradation and curing-induced overheating
Abstract RTM6 is a monocomponent epoxy resin widely used in the aerospace industry, where it is processed by resin transfer molding and related liquid-composite-molding routes. Its time–temperature–transformation (TTT) diagram maps, as a function of cure temperature and time, the boundaries between the different physic...
