One dimensional transient heat conduction analysis of reactive, unfilled polyesters and epoxies shows that care must be taken during curing to minimize large temperature excursions due to internal heat generation. Isothermal heat generation rates have been shown to underestimate the non‐isothermal values by more than an order of magnitude.
