The non-isothermal curing kinetics of bismaleimide/unsaturated polyester resin was studied with DSC.The reaction heats and degree of curing at different heating rates were evaluated.The reaction heats at different heating rates were close to a constant.The energy of activation E and the reaction order n were presented based on Kissinger and Crane equeation.The energy of activation E is 48.61kJ/mol.The reaction order n was 0.92,so the reaction was nearly a first-order reaction.
