| Abstract: | The cure characterization of a new BMI resin was investigated to ascertain a suitable cure model for the material. A series of isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) runs from 170°C to 220°C provided information about the cure characterization. All “kinetic triplet” (i. e., Arrhenius parameters A, activation energy E, and the reaction model, f(α)) of this new BMI system were calculated. It was found that the cure characterization of this new BMI could be expressed by nth‐order cure reaction. |
