Innovative ultrasonic delay lines are being applied on polyimide neat resin for the detection of bubble formation during heating. These delay lines have certain advantageous characteristics that can enhance the detection of bubbles during the heating process of materials over the conventional curing sensors. A transition point in ultrasonic velocity during heating, which signifies the formation of bubbles, has been experimentally verified in water first and then in polyimide neat resin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
