Method Based on Maximum Values

For a curing reaction of a resin under dynamic conditions, the conversion degree p at the maximum conversion rate is independent of the heating rate 0. From DSC curves measured at 

The kinetic parameters can be estimated according to Kissinger s method [27] from the dependence of the exothermal peak temperature of DSC curves on heating rate. Knowing the reaction order, the maximum point of the DSC curve, dHjdt vs T, is used to obtain the ratio E/n from the expression [28]
