Abstract

Curing methods are pivotal in shaping the properties and performance of polymer composites, influencing their mechanical strength, durability, and overall quality. This chapter underscores the diversity of curing techniques available, including traditional thermal curing, radiation curing (UV and electron beam), microwave curing, induction heating, and more. Each method offers distinct advantages and poses unique challenges, requiring careful consideration to select the most appropriate technique for specific composite materials and applications. Customization and in-situ curing are explored as strategies for optimizing efficiency and cost-effectiveness. These approaches cater to the specific requirements of different composite materials, reduce transportation and handling, and offer flexibility in production.
