Kurzfassung englisch:
Epoxy-based composites are essential in modern automotive, aerospace, marine and energy industries. Still, high-rate manufacturing relies on energy-demanding thermal curing methods, as UV-curing is limited to thin layers. Recently, Radical-Induced Cationic Frontal Polymerzation (RICFP) broke these limits to establish UV-induced bulk curing of epoxy monomers.1 This enables the rapid curing of composite formulations with enormously reduced energy input.2-3
As the liberated polymerization heat sustains the curing reaction, heat dissipation margins the achievable Minimum Layer Thickness (MLT), which defines the composite products of RICFP. The results of ongoing research with MLTs well below 1 mm are presented and show UV-cured bulk epoxy composite materials of e.g. glass fibers, carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, graphite, ceramics and metals.
