Aerospace Series Non-Metallic Materials Analysis of Non-Metallic Materials (Cured) for the Determination of the Extent of Cure by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) (Edition P1)
This test method defines the procedure for the estimation of the extent of cure of certain non-metallic materials (e.g. preimpregnated and neat resin systems@ adhesives) for aerospace use. The extent of cure is estimated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) measurements of uncured (reference) and cured materials. Additional evidence on the extent of cure may be gained by combining results from this method with those obtained by other techniques. This standard does not give any directions necessary to meet the health and safety requirements. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to adopt appropriate health and safety precautions.
