Convective Preheating Enhances Front Propagation in DCPD Frontal Polymerization
M Vijay Kumar, Saujatya Mandal, Siddhant Jain +2
Frontal polymerization (FP) enables rapid curing of thermosets via a self-sustaining thermal wave, but its propagation mechanism can shift dramatically depending on processing cond…
