Article Synopsis
- The curing process of composite materials significantly impacts their mechanical properties, but traditional inspection methods may not accurately assess the curing state of thermosetting resins.
- Raman spectroscopy is utilized in this study to measure the degree of cure, with findings compared against standard techniques like thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
- The results indicate that Raman technology can effectively measure polymerization levels, providing complementary data to classical methods, leading to improved control over curing processes and the quality of carbon fiber specimens made with epoxy resin.
