Assessment of the influence of curing parameters on fibre reinforced epoxy composite properties using guided ultrasonic waves Irmak, Hayrettin Claes, Leander Wu, Shuang Marten, Thorsten Tröster, Thomas fibre-reinforced polymers differential scanning calorimetry degree of crosslinking guided waves ultrasound The degree of crosslinking in unidirectional prepreg materials was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry to assess their curing behavior and thermal characteristics. To complement these measurements with a non-destructive, in-situ method, the propagation properties of guided acoustic waves in cured carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy plates were analysed. Correlations between the degree of crosslinking and acoustically determined mechanical properties were drawn to enable a future non-destructive evaluation approach.
