title = "Evaluating epoxy cure through single-sided nmr measurements of molecular mobility",
abstract = "We present the use of single-sided nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to monitor the cure of epoxy resins. While current methods to evaluate the cure of epoxies, including calorimetry (DSC) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), require either destructive sampling or the creation of model samples that correlate to materials used in final products, single-sided NMR offers a non-destructive alternative to monitor cure in situ. Here, we demonstrate insitu NMR measurements of room-temperature curing of epoxy and interpret these results in context of a reduction of molecular mobility during the curing process. We correlate the NMR relaxation properties of that signal with DSC data. Our results show how NMR supports other data on curing, the extent of cure, and adhesion strength of epoxies.",
