Thermal characteristics of composites by DSC.
| Performance | Average Value for UTFC | Average Value for ATFC | p Value (t-Test) for UTFC and ATFC (α = 0.05) | Significant Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tg (°C) | 57.3 ± 1.5 | 59.9 ± 0.7 | 0.048 | Yes |
| Tcc (°C) | 93.7 ± 1.9 | 104.8 ± 1.6 | 0.002 | Yes |
| Tm (°C) | 161.9 ± 1.3 | 154.4 ± 3.4 | 0.025 | Yes |
| ΔHcc (J/g) | 3.4 ± 2.0 | 9.6 ± 2.3 | 0.025 | Yes |
| ΔHm (J/g) | 19.3 ± 2.3 | 16.0 ± 2.0 | 0.133 | No |
| Xc (%) | 21.2 ± 1.4 | 9.7 ± 2.5 | 0.002 | Yes |
Note: Two-sided t-test in ANOVA, and α is a significant level. For p ≥ 0.05, there is no significant difference.
