천연 제올라이트/에폭시 수지 복합재료의 경화반응 속도론을 연구하기 위해 DSC 분석법 중 승온적 방법을 이용하였다. 천연 제올라이트의 함량이 증가함에 따라 반응 시작온도와 발열피크의 온도가 낮아졌다. Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)/4,4`-methylene dianiline(MDA)/malononitrile(MN, 10phr)에 제올라이트를 20phr 충전한 경우에는 하나의 발열피크가 나타나며, 30phr인 경우에는 shoulder가 나타났다. 40phr의 제올라이트가 충전된 경우에는 발열피크가 두 개로 분리되며, 첫번째 발열피크의 활성화에너지, Ea₁은 12.30 kJ/㏖이고, 두번째 발열피크의 활성화에너지, Ea₂는 12.70 kJ/㏖이었다.

Natural zeolite/epoxy resin composites were prepared and the cure kinetics was studied by dynamic DSC analysis. With the increment of natural zeolite content, the reaction starting temperature and the exothermic peak temperature were decreased. When diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)/4,4`-methylene dianiline(MDA)/ malononitrile(MN, 10phr) was filled with 20phr of zeolite, DSC thermogram had one peak and when it was filled with 30phr of zeolite, a shoulder appeared on the DSC thermogram. With the filling of 40phr of zeolite, DSC thermogram was separated into two peaks and the activation energy of the first peak, Ea₁ was 12.30 kJ/㏖ and that of the second peak, Ea₂ was 12.70 kJ/㏖.
