The performance of the final product depends heavily on the degree of cure - making it critical to ensure that the reaction goes to completion for the highest quality and reliability. Achieving this ...

Ultraviolet-curable resins were introduced in the 1960s. But their use in composites was eventually abandoned in favor of heat-curing materials because of the latter’s ability to form thick-walled ...

Polymer-nanoparticle composites are used in batteries, construction materials, nonstick coatings, and electronic and medical devices. But making them requires multiple steps or a lot of heat and ...

Many dentists may be using their curing lights badly, with some baking their patients' teeth and others leaving restorations uncured, a study by Dalhousie University researchers suggests. "Most ...

Acsion Industries, a company born out of the Canadian atomic energy organisation, is developing composite materials processing technologies for the next generation of high speed passenger aeroplanes, ...

The entirely new Notus NE7 formulation allows composite manufacturers to cure components at temperatures as low as 70˚C, reducing energy consumption and enabling more cost-effective tooling options.
