Epoxy composites are widely used in commercial products. For industrial purposes, storage stability is one of their most important characteristics. To enable this feature, alternative promoters that are stable at a low-energy state, where they do not react, are needed. Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are organic-inorganic complexes, and they contain imidazolate linkers, which are one of the promoters in the epoxy-amine reaction. In this study, the stability of a one-pot epoxy-amine composite was improved by using ZIFs as promoters. ZIFs were synthesized using the solvothermal method, and their structure were confirmed using X-ray diffraction analysis and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The activation energy of the ZIFs was measured using the non-isothermal method of differential scanning calorimetry, and it was calculated using the Kissinger equation. Furthermore, the storage stability of the one-pot epoxy-amine system was measured considering the viscosity change with time at constant temperature. The viscoelastic behavior of the cured sample was demonstrated using dynamic mechanical analysis.
