Description

A quasi-steady-state apparatus was applied to measure the thermal conductivity of solids ranging in size from 0.3 to 200 L, and temperature distributions in the solids were recorded during curing. A theoretical equation for conduction in a cylindrical form with uniform energy generation was established to define the thermal state of reaction. The heat of reaction, calculated from the theoretical equation with experimental values for the maximum temperature and thermal conductivity, agrees very well with the data reported. The relationships between the heat of reaction and the amount of curing agent, amount of retardant, loading of spent resin, and amount of water were established. (author) 8 figs., 7 refs
