Curing of resins Resins are very complex systems and their activation energies change depends on the conversion degree during the curing process. Isconversional methods (Ozawa-Flynn-Wall, Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose and Friedman) reveal changes in the curing kinetics throughout the process and have been applied for the cure of epoxy-amine, epoxy/polyurethane/bentonite composites, epoxy nanocomposites, alkyd/melamine and urea-formaldehyde resins: Radmila Radičević, Mirjana Jovičić, Jaroslava Budinski-Simendić, Preparation and curing of alkyd based on ricinoleic acid/melamine coatings, Progress in Organic Coatings 71 (2011) 256-264.
