Thermoset curing through Joule heating of nanocarbons for composite manufacture, repair and soldering

Epoxy resins are cured through Joule heating of dispersed nanocarbons (carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene) in the polymer matrix at volume fractions above the electrical percolation threshold. The process is intrinsically very efficient since heat is generated directly from within the sample. The...

Description
Summary:Epoxy resins are cured through Joule heating of dispersed nanocarbons (carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene) in the polymer matrix at volume fractions above the electrical percolation threshold. The process is intrinsically very efficient since heat is generated directly from within the sample. The small distance between nanocarbon particles (
