Curing characteristics of unsaturated polyester/aramid reinforced composite : microwave vs. thermal energy

Conventional curing processes for producing thermoset composites use a thermal approach, which suffers from numerous disadvantages, including a long curing cycle time. This paper reports on an alternative curing process of an unsaturated polyester/aramid composite using microwave energy. The differe...
