Summary The effect of curing on the fluorescence intensity of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) and 9,10-dimethylanthracene (DMA) was studied using two epoxide/amine systems. In the system diglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A (DGEBA)/1,3-diaminopropane the fluorescence intensity of DMA, If, increases with increasing conversion of epoxy groups; this is explained by means of a dynamic model of fluorescence quenching by dissolved molecular oxygen. Contrariwise, in the other system under study, DGEBA/poly (oxypropylene) diamine (JeffamineR D-400), If of the DPH probe decreases, which is interpreted by using the model of static fluorescence quenching. Both effects are suggested for use in the cure monitoring of epoxy resins.
