AbstractA model epoxy matrix resin was analyzed using differential scanning calorimetric and rheological techniques. The data was used to construct a time‐temperature‐phase transformation diagram to investigate the thermoset curing phenomena. Experimental techniques were developed to generate similar data on a carbon/epoxy prepreg material. The data were then compared to study the effects of the presence of the reinforcement on the processing characteristics of the epoxy matrix re
