Curing of monomer composites, 2. The use of NMR to monitor real time curing dynamics

A novel method is described for monitoring the real‐time curing dynamics of composite monomers, exploiting site specific information provided by high resolution NMR. Important temporal information is encoded in the component lineshapes and intensities of ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra recorded as a function of curing time. A computed simulation based on a (Q‐e)‐multicomponent kinetic model matches experimental data well, which lends confidence to the model when used in a predictive mode.
