The Design and Use of a Viscometer for the Study of Reacting Resin Systems.
Abstract
This report describes a viscometry system which has been developed specifically to study reacting resin systems under predetermined temperature cycles such as those representative of the cure conditions used for carbon fibre reinforced epoxy resin laminates. The constraints placed upon the design both by the need to reduce the number of variables and by the nature of the material under test are discussed together with the methods adopted to overcome them. By use of an example, the viscometry system described is shown to provide a detailed understanding of what, at first sight, appears to be a simple process but is in fact unexpectedly complex.
