Abstract:The needs for sustainable development and energy efficient
manufacturing
are crucial in the development of future composite materials. Out-of-oven
(OoO) curing of fiber-reinforced composites based on smart conductive
polymers reduces energy consumption and self-regulates the heating
temperature with enhanced safety in manufacturing, presenting an excellent
example of such energy efficient
approaches. However, achieving the desired curing processes, especially
for high-performance systems where two-stage curing… Show more
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.
