介绍了一种新的简便的非高压釜（OOA）法。将电流施加到CNT BP层以产生用于固化混合复合材料的热。结果表明，通过这种原位固化方法制造的混杂复合材料具有相对较好的机械性能和较低的孔隙含量，相比，由高压釜工艺生产的样品。此外，有限元分析表明，复合材料的原位固化可以实现均匀的热分布和能量效率。提出的原位固化技术是有希望的，以制造高品质的先进复合材料的能源和成本节约的潜力。
A new simple out-of-autoclave (OOA) method is introduced in this study. Electrical current is applied to layers of CNT BP to generate heat for curing the hybrid composite. The results indicate that hybrid composites fabricated by this in situ curing method exhibits relatively good mechanical properties and low void content, compared to samples produced by the autoclave process. In addition, finite element analysis demonstrates that the in situ curing of composite can achieve uniform heat distribution and energy efficiency. The proposed in situ curing technique is promising for fabricating high-quality advanced composites with potential for energy and cost savings.
