On-line cure characteristics of organic strip steel coatings by infrared spectroscopy
… as a potential on-line technique to measure the cure state of an organic polymer on steel strip. White internal polyester, deep red external polyester and pale brown plastisol coatings are studied.<br/><br/>The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of coatings were analysed to identify …

In-Situ Measurement of Resin Shrinkage for Aerospace Components
… (DSC) is used to measure the degree of cure for the two epoxies, and to correlate resin shrinkage to the cure state. We also observed the effect of fibers on the shrinkage of the resin using carbon fiber, glass fiber and crepe bandage as fillers. We observed that as the stiffness of the …

A fabrication stress model for axisymmetric filament wound composite structures
… behavior of the composite material in any cure state. An incremental finite element formulation was used to model the winding and mandrel removal stages. A thermo-mechanical formulation was used to model the curing stage. Also, all major physical phenomena occurring in the fabrication …

In-situ cure monitoring of epoxy resin systems
… optical fibre sensors capable of monitoring the cure state of an epoxy/amine resin system. The sensors were of simple construction, consisting of an optical fibre from which the silicone cladding layer had been removed over a short length. This stripped length was embedded into the curing resin …

Lifetime Prediction and Durability of Elastomeric Seals for Fuel Cell Applications
… were suggested and insights were gained into how cure state and level of antidegradants in a material dictate the material behavior during the first phase of environmental exposure leading to change in material properties. Ring samples made of silicone were also tested using the fixture to obtain …
