Characterization of polyester resins solidification process by the method of mechanical impedance

A Chemical Sensor Based on Conventional Reinforcing E‐Glass Fibres

“…This in turn can result in the emission of toxic decomposition products that will also dictate the need to undergo a lengthy procedure to clean the processing equipment. With reference to optimised processing of composites, numerous sensors and techniques have been reported such as optical fibre-based [2] and dielectric [3] sensors, ultrasound, [4] mechanical impedance [5] and thermal analysis. [6] Although the aforementioned sensors and techniques provide a unique opportunity for real-time process monitoring of composites, some of these sensor devices may be considered as an inclusion in the material, within certain industrial sectors.…”
