The curing reaction of a thermally curable epoxy system containing diphenyliodonium hexafluoroarsenate was investigated by using the dynamic and isothermal techniques of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was shown that the curing involved two consecutive reactions. The heat of the total curing reaction and overall kinetic parameters for the two reactions were obtained.
