rate, diffusion behavior, processing time, and Tg, including different behavior at 120 °C, while established DSC practice derives formulation-specific cure windows from heat-of-reaction and Tg evidence. Generic official guidance also recognizes that first-presented values can anchor later estimates and recommends pre-sharing independent estimates. The bounded search did not find direct empirical evidence that a resin supplier's schedule commonly anchors materials teams' test matrices or propagates into their scale-up spreadsheets, so that organization-specific causal allegation remains unverified.","source_ids":["SRC1","SRC2","SRC3","SRC4"]},"closest_prior_art":[{"name":"Formulation-specific DSC and TTT cure-window optimization","source_ids":["SRC1","SRC2","SRC3"],"overlap":"Uses small DSC specimens, multiple temperatures or heating programs, reaction enthalpy, conversion kinetics, diffusion effects, and Tg to determine an evidence-based epoxy cure window.
