modified horie model to better describe the wholly curing of fully vulcanized elastomeric nanoparticles/epoxy nanocomposites

In this paper, the curing kinetics behaviour of epoxy and epoxy nanocomposites has been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry(dsc). the curing kinetics of epoxy nanocomposites with nthe-order model and horie model were investigated. the results of both models show that two models have the same behavior to described the curing  reaction and horie model has a  some deviation in the initial of the  curing reaction and can not report the value of k2. the horie model was modified and introduced to better described the whole curing reaction and the results of the modified horie model showed that the same trend as the two models presented.
