Rapid and Energy-Efficient Microwave Curing of CFRPs Enabled by Holey-Shaped Metasurface Layers
This article presents an energy-efficient and rapid method for curing carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) using an optimized applicator, which incorporates a holey-patch unit cell. By introducing a surface impedance model for the CFRP through experimental methods, we establish the feasibility of achieving strong coupling of microwave energy into the composite. This is achieved by covering the composite with a matching layer of a high-permittivity material, approximately a quarter-wavelength in thickness. Remarkably, metasurface structures are utilized to create this matching layer. Our results demonstrate that the holey-patch matching layer generates a highly homogeneous heat profile, enabling a ramp-up rate of up to $30~^{\circ }$ C/min. Furthermore, the developed method facilitates industrial-grade curing of CFRP in small, cost-effective applicators, resulting in enhanced mechanical properties compared with autoclave-cured samples.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques focuses on that part of engineering and theory associated with microwave/millimeter-wave components, devices, circuits, and systems involving the generation, modulation, demodulation, control, transmission, and detection of microwave signals. This includes scientific, technical, and industrial, activities. Microwave theory and techniques relates to electromagnetic waves usually in the frequency region between a few MHz and a THz; other spectral regions and wave types are included within the scope of the Society whenever basic microwave theory and techniques can yield useful results. Generally, this occurs in the theory of wave propagation in structures with dimensions comparable to a wavelength, and in the related techniques for analysis and design.
