Monitoring Method of Resin Flow and Cure with Electromagnetic Wave Transmission Line Using Carbon Fiber as Conductive Elements

摘要

We previously presented a new method for monitoring resin flow and cure with a high-frequency electromagnetic wave transmission line. Here, we propose the use of carbon fiber for conductive elements constructing the transmission line so as to use material reinforcements (i.e., carbon fiber) as sensing probes. The experimental results demonstrated the possibility of carbon fiber as transmission line elements.
