Abstract

We fabricate unidirectional carbon fiber-reinforced dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) composites cured by the frontal polymerization technique. A homogenized thermo-chemical model is proposed to study the manufacturing process. We then solve the proposed model using a nonlinear finite element solver to investigate the evolution of the temperature and degree of cure during the fabrication process. Simulation of curing process of glass fiber-reinforced DCPD composites and carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy composites are added to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed framework and to study the effects of different fibers on the front characteristics; maximum temperature and front velocity.
