Abstract Dynamic mechanical behavior during the reactions of four aromatic diamines ( m ‐phenylenediamine, 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane, 4,4′‐diaminodiphenyl sulfone, and benzidine) with the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A was studied by torsional braid analysis under isothermal conditions. Depending on the cure temperature, three types of behavior were observed: (I) below T gg (the glass transition temperature of the reactive systems at the gel point); (II) between T gg and T g ∞ (the glass transition temperature of the ultimately cured polymers); (III) above T g ∞ . Overall activation energies and apparent overall rate constants of the cure reactions based on third‐order overall kinetics were determined before gelation, after gelation but before vitrification, and after vitrification, using gelation time, relative rigidity, and glass transition temperature T g ( t ) of the polymers as kinetic terms. The influence of cure temperature and structure of the diamines on the kinetic parameters is discussed.
