Abstract
Glass transition temperatures (Tg) were obtained vs. isothermal temperature (Tcure) and time of cure for a polyamic acid/polyimide system. A time–temperature–transformation (TTT) isothermal cure diagram was constructed to include the time to vitrification and iso‐Tg curves. As for expoxies, the relationship between Tcure and the time to vitrification is S‐shaped. Plots of Tg vs. Tcure show that solvent evaporation and chemical reaction are controlled by vitrification.
