Abstract
A method for preparing a latent hardener includes, in the order recited, introducing a hardener into a dry mixer that is a high-energy-type mixer; injecting carbon dioxide gas or an inert gas into the dry mixer; and mechanochemically deactivating only a surface of the hardener using the dry mixer. The hardener may be an amine-based adduct, an imidazole-based adduct, dicyandiamide, a dihydride-based compound, a dichlorophenyl dimethylurea compound and combinations thereof. The inert gas may be helium, nitrogen, argon, neon, krypton, and combinations thereof.
