Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers with different generations (0-5) were investigated as curing agents in epoxy resin systems. Flory's gelation theory and the Avrami equation were used to predict the cure behavior of epoxy resin/PAMAM/imidazole at various temperatures and PAMAM concentrations. The theoretical prediction is in good agreement with the experimental results obtained from the dynamic torsional vibration method. (C) 2004 Society of Chemical Industry.
