Abstract: | The effect of the previous thermal and strain history on the viscosity properties and curing reaction kinetics of composition K18-2 has been investigated. Flow curves have been obtained for the composition over a broad range of shear rates and temperatures. The viscosity super-anomaly effect has been studied. A general functional dependence of the viscosity of composition K18-2 on degree of cure, temperature, and shear rate has been obtained.For communication 1 see 1].Moscow Institute of Chemical Machine Building.
