1. All fillers lowered the maximum exotherm.

2. The curing exotherm of vinyl unsaturated polyester and the factors affecting on it were discussed.

3. Excessive dispersion time at high speed causes temperature build-up which can result in marked viscosity reduction, with severe splashing at least, and the possibility of a dangerous exotherm.

4. These thicker laminates are more difficult to infuse and the exotherm development of traditional epoxy systems can lead to exotherm wrinkles in spar caps.

5. After the adding of carbon nanotubes, the area of crystal-melting peak in DSC curve of rubber decreases, and the width of exotherm peak belongs to cure reaction increases.

6. The DTA curve of the fine clay fraction exhibits a major exotherm near 340℃.
