Summary

By reference to the reaction of a copper complex of phenyl glycidyl ether and 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole, and Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy at high temperature is shown to be an excellent and under-utilized method for measuring the degree of cure, enabling kinetic parameters to be obtained.
