In the last decade, synthetic fiber, as a reinforcing specialist, has been mainly used in
polymer matrix composites (PMC's) to provide lightweight materials with improved stiffness …

Carbon nanomaterials have been shown to rapidly evolve heat in response to
electromagnetic fields. Initial studies focused on the use of microwaves, but more recently, it …

Despite decades of research, fatigue remains the primary culprit for catastrophic failure in
carbon-fiber reinforced polymeric (CFRP) composites. Existing approaches to combat …

Abstract Direct Ink Writing (DIW) is an extrusion-based additive manufacturing method
where the print medium is a liquid-phase 'ink'dispensed out of nozzles and deposited along …

With the rapid development of high-power integrated electronic devices, many polymer-
based thermal management devices have been developed to address the problem of …

Polycarbosilanes (PCS) are organosilicon polymers that can be converted into silicon
carbide (SiC) ceramics upon pyrolysis. The phase compositions and microstructure of the …

The isothermal curing kinetics of carbon nanotube loaded epoxy was investigated using
rheometry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at a range of temperatures. Rheo …

We developed an out-of-oven additive manufacturing (AM) technique to rapidly print and
cure thermosetting carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRCs) using dielectric barrier …

Commercial carbon fiber composites are fabricated using pre-impregnated fibers with epoxy
or “pre-pregs”, that are B-Staged (partially cured) using large ovens to ensure partial cross …

This work shows that radio‐frequency (RF) fields can simultaneously align carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) dispersed in a resin and induce Joule heating to cure the resin. The …
