Theoretical framework and experimental validation for monitoring the glass transition temperature of thermosets using a low-cost Fresnel reflection sensor by James DR. Talbot, David King, Francisco N. Bogonez, Venkata R. Machavaram, Dee Harris, Madhav Ramesh, Surya D. Pandita, Liwei Wang, Maximilian Hlatky, Gerard F. Fernando

“…As predicted by the theoretical study, a distinct change in the slope of the Fresnel reflection sensor data were observed as the cross-linked resin was heated past the glass transition temperature. An excellent correlation was observed between the outputs from the Fresnel reflection sensor and the differential scanning calorimeter with regard to the cross-linking kinetics and the glass transition temperature.…”
