DMI-9806236仆人 本研究的目的是通过紫外线（UV）和热固化工艺的组合，提高对聚合物复合材料加工的理解。该研究将解决必要的探索性工作，以证明这种技术的可行性，未来的项目将扩大这项研究的范围。两种常用的复合材料制造方法，即纤维缠绕和纸浆模塑，将进行审查。该项目将展示紫外线固化技术与普通聚合物生产技术的结合使用，并将提供可用于优化紫外线固化技术的使用的数据，以生产高质量，具有成本效益的聚合物复合材料。 为促进技术转让，本研究将使用市售材料和生产设备。 该研究将与壳牌开发公司和乐泰公司合作并得到其支持。 该项目将使调查人员能够利用一个独特的机会，建立行业联系，同时建立一个目前学术界尚未涉及的研究领域。 预计这一活动将增加教育和研究机会。

DMI-9806236Lackey The objective of this research is to advance the understanding of the processing of polymeric composites through the combination of ultraviolet (UV) and thermal cure processes. The research will address the exploratory work necessary to demonstrate the feasibility of this technique, and future projects will expand the scope of this research. Two commonly used composite manufacturing methods, namely filament winding and pultrusion, will be examined. The project will demonstrate the use of the UV cure technique with common polymeric production techniques, and will provide data which can be used to optimize the use of UV cure techniques for the production of high-quality, cost-effective polymeric composites. To facilitate technology transfer, commercially available materials and manufacturing equipment will be used in this study. The research will be conducted in collaboration with and supported by Shell Development Company and Loctite Corporation. The project will enable the investigator to take advantage of a unique opportunity to establish industry linkages while establishing a research area which is not currently being addressed in academia. It is expected that both educational and research opportunities will be enhanced by this activity.
