Problem 1: The following isothermal cure rate equation was found to fit the DSC data for a thermoset resin: dac = k(1 a), dt where k is a temperature-dependent constant. Solve this differential equation to show that time required to achieve a cure level ac is given by t = c k(1 - ac)' Problem 1: The following isothermal cure rate equation was found to fit the DSC data for a thermoset resin: dac = k(1 a), dt where k is a temperature-dependent constant.
