On the Nature of Epoxy Resin Post-Curing

Post-curing is intended to improve strength, elevate glass transition, and reduce residual stress and outgassing in thermosets. Also, experiments indicate post-curing temperatures lead to ether crosslinks and backbone dehydration. These results informed molecular dynamics methods to represent them a...
