TICA Study of ATS-G

Abstract

ATS-G resin was studied using the TICA technique. Effects of air and nitrogen cure environments were accessed and the results were compared with those from a previous study on BADABBA. In general, the findings are consistent with that reported in the previous study, indicating that the environmental effects on curing are inherent to all AT systems. The less thermally stable backbone structure of the sulfone groups led to observation of thermal degradation at high temperature which was not observed with the quinoxaline resin. Because of the lower glass transition temperature, the air effects in ATS-G are more clearly defined. The importance of air diffusion rate in determining the total air effect is shown in the study.
