Monitoring real‐time curing of epoxies in situ using single‐sided NMR
Abstract
Abstract Adhesively bonded joints using epoxy are widely used in aircraft and aerospace structures. Quality control and defect detection during epoxy curing in such applications is critical. We used single‐sided nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to nondestructively probe and spatially resolve the change in the characteristic NMR relaxation time ( T 2 ) of epoxies during curing on a substrate. Time‐dependent T 2 values were fit to a Weibull function to model temporal changes in the NMR measurables. Our results demonstrate that the reduction in molecular mobility of various epoxy/curing agent mixtures occurs more rapidly at the interface than in the bulk. Further use of single‐sided NMR to acquire spatially resolved T 2 data will provide a route for elucidatory epoxy curing studies. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci. 2020 , 58 , 616–623
