dc.description.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 is often required, remains a great challenge. In this study, a ternary system consisting of graphene nanoplatelets/HDPE/PVDF was developed, with a double positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect achieved to fulfill stable self-regulating heating at two temperatures (120 and 150 °C). Systematic studies on both single and double PTC effects were performed, with morphological analysis to understand their pyroresistive behaviors. Compared to the oven curing process, up to 97% reduction in the energy consumption was achieved by the ternary system, while comparable thermal and mechanical properties were obtained in the carbon fiber/epoxy laminates. This work presents a new route to achieve OoO curing with two-stage self-regulating heating, which can be utilized in many high-performance composite applications. | en_US |
