Control and optimization of curing process is very important for the production of high quality
composite parts. Crosslinking of molecules of thermoset resin occurs in this phase, which …

The production and consumption of polymer composites has grown continuously through
recent decades and has topped 10 Mt/year. Until very recently, polymer composites almost …

A novel thermoplastic epoxy (TPE) was constructed through the solution polymerization
process between diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and aniline to improve the …

A fast crosslinking reaction is crucial for the economical production of automotive
components in liquid composite molding (LCM) processes. Although a large number of …

Most composites require a certain amount of pressure to cure, therefore, it is crucial to
comprehend the effect of pressure on the curing reaction. Nonetheless, the majority of …

This work seeks to develop a better understanding of the influence that the chemistry of an
epoxy thermoset system has on the stress-transfer capability of the fibre-matrix interface. We …

A new epoxy resin matrix with good adherence to T800 carbon fibers (T800 CFs) in filament
winding was developed by addition of hardener and resin diluter. Interfacial behavior of the …

In this paper, an analytical model is presented to predict the warpage and residual stresses
developed during curing of Fibre Metal Laminates (FMLs). The model is generally …

The present work focuses on a fundamental investigation into the influences of the chemistry
of epoxy and the testing temperature on the stress-transfer capability of the fibre–matrix …

An experimentally validated, multi-physics and multi-scale processing model was developed
to predict the residual stress buildup in a polymer matrix composite during manufacturing. At …
