Abstract
Hayaty et al of the Iran Polymer and Petrochemical Institute, Iran showed that the orders of the cure reaction changed little with the heating rate, so the effect of the heating rate on the reaction order was not significant. The overall reaction order obtained from all three methods was nearly constant (≅2.4). (RDC 1/10/2011)
