Abstract
The curing rate of epoxy resins is a critical parameter that significantly influences the curing properties of polymer matrix composites (PMCs). It plays a vital role in meeting high-performance requirements, particularly in achieving rapid development of high modulus. The paper reviews the current state of research on the curing of epoxy resins in PMCs, including theoretical studies on the curing kinetics of the curing rate. The effects of curing methods, curing agents, accelerators, functional fillers and composite curing processes on the curing rate and mechanical properties are also reviewed. In addition, the relationship between curing rate and mechanical properties of epoxy composites under different influencing factors is reviewed. The review aims to provide research ideas for obtaining advanced structural composites with fast curing and excellent mechanical properties.
