Abstract:Because long curing times hinder the mass manufacturing of composite products, there is a constant quest to develop shorter curing cycles that maintain material quality. The authors recently developed a curing prediction methodology for thermoset composites based on an isoconversional model, which is used in this work to shorten the curing time of real practice processes. The investigation presents two optimized cure cycles devised to reduce the curing times recommended by the resin manufacturer while assure a… Show more
