Definitions
- the invention relates generally to fabrication techniques and, more particularly, composite fabrication techniques and associated polymer composite-based products.
- Structural composite products such as wind turbine blades and aircraft structures, are composed of multiple layers.
- the conventional approach for curing these multiple layers involves curing all of the layers together at the same time in an autoclave or oven. In other words, the process involves applying the layers one over the other, and then subsequently curing all of the layers.
- the adhesion between layers is generally good but other disadvantages sometimes make this approach not practical. For instance, in manufacturing the root section of a wind turbine blades, sagging and dimensional distortion and fiber wrinkling during compaction may occur during curing cycle. Also, excessive reaction exotherm from thick parts may cause problems.
- Another approach for curing these multiple layers involves sequentially applying and completely curing layers one after another using a single curing mechanism.
- a first composite layer is cured completely before laying down a second composite layer.
- the second composite layer is then cured completely before laying down a third composite layer.
- the process adds additional composite layers in the same sequential manner using the single curing mechanism.
- this fabrication technique creates relatively weak secondary adhesive bonds between the composite layers. These secondary adhesive bonds result in undesirably low interlaminar strength.
- a method in accordance with one aspect of the invention, includes activating a first functional group of a resin in a first layer in response to a first curing source. The method further includes sequentially activating a second functional group of the resin in the first layer and the second functional group of the resin in a second layer disposed on the first layer in response to a second curing source. The method further includes creating a first covalent bond across an interface of the first layer and the second layer.
- a method in accordance with another aspect of the invention, includes providing a first layer comprising a resin having a first functional group and a second functional group. The method also includes applying a first curing source to activate the first functional group and partially cure the first layer. The method further includes applying a second layer comprising the resin having the first and the second functional group onto the first layer. A second curing source is then applied to fully cure the first layer and partially cure the second layer simultaneously by activating the second functional group in the first and second layer.
- a system in accordance with another aspect of the invention, includes a dual cure composite structure having a first layer with a material having a first and a second functional group.
- the system also includes a second layer with the material having the first and the second functional group.
- the system further includes a third layer with the material having the first and the second functional group.
- the system also includes a first covalent bond across an interface of the first and the second layer.
- a second covalent bond across another interface of the second and the third layer is also included in the system.
- the method can be extended beyond the three layer system described here by alternatively activating the first and second functional groups sequentially of the subsequently disposing layers and creating alternating covalent bonds on alternating interfaces.
- a method including partially curing a first composite layer with a first curing feature is included.
- the method also includes disposing a second composite layer along the first composite layer.
- the method further includes simultaneously curing the first and second composite layers with a second curing feature to further cure the first composite layer and to partially cure the second composite layer, wherein the first and second curing features are different from one another.
- a manufacturing system having one or more curing sources configured to fully or partially cure a layer of a composite structure is included.
- the system also includes a machine configured to dispose a layer of a dual cure composite structure.

- FIG. 7 is a diagrammatical illustration of the blades in the wind turbine system, such as illustrated in FIG. 6 , in accordance with certain embodiments of the present invention.
- a dual cure composite structure used herein is defined as a composite structure having multiple layers, wherein the composite structure is manufactured using a “dual cure” mechanism to bond the multiple layers.
- “Dual cure” mechanism is a mechanism in which initially, a first layer is partially cured by a first curing feature followed by a second layer being disposed on top of the first layer. In a next step, the second layer is partially cured and the first layer is at least further or fully cured simultaneously by a second curing feature.
- the “dual cure” mechanism may be supplemented with one or more additional curing features, making the mechanism a generally “multi cure” mechanism.
- the foregoing dual cure scenario may be supplemented by further applying a third layer on top of the second layer, and then partially curing the third layer and further or entirely curing the second layer simultaneously by a third curing feature.
- the first layer also may be further or entirely cured by the third curing feature simultaneous with the curing of the second and third layers.
- a fourth, fifth, sixth, or additional layers may be successively applied over the composite structure, and successively cured in stages of partial, and eventually complete curing via two or more curing features (e.g., the first, second, or more curing features).
- the curing features generally alternate (e.g., feature 1 , 2 , 1 , 2 , etc.) as each successive layer is applied and simultaneously partially cured along with a previous layer.
- the disclosed “dual cure” or “multi cure” mechanism may be described as “overlapping stages of curing” or “staged curing” or “step curing” of adjacent layers to create covalent bonds across interface of the layers and hence improve the interlayer adhesion.
- Rapid curing systems are desirable for large composite structures to obtain the desired manufacturing cycle time, reduce significant plant and equipment investment, and further decrease base cost of a part.
- This requires integration of appropriate resin chemistry with a corresponding curing source.
- Curing source is a source used in curing layers of a composite structure.
- Non-limiting examples of a curing source are ultraviolet frequency radiation, or microwave frequency radiation, or radio frequency, or visible frequency radiation, or ultrasonic, or laser, or electron beam or a combination thereof.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a dual cure composite structure 10 including a first layer 12 , a second layer 14 and a third layer 16 of a resin or another material in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
- resin includes a resin or a resin blend.
- the composite structure 10 may include two or more layers of a resin. In alternative embodiments, the composite structure 10 may include two or more layers of another type of material.
- the first layer 12 includes a first functional group 18 and a second functional group 20 .
- the “functional group” is defined as an atom or a group of atoms in an organic compound that provides the compound with some of its characteristics which make it respond to a specific curing mechanism.
- Some non-limiting examples of functional groups include aldehydes, amines, hydroxyl, acrylate, methacrylate, vinyl, cyclo-epoxide, glycidyl etherepoxide with amine curatives, urethane, thiol-ene reactive group or a combination thereof.
- Some non-limiting examples of resins comprising these functional groups are unsaturated polyesters, vinyl esters, melamines, urea-formaledehydes, phenolics, methacrylates, acrylates, epoxies, urethanes, etc.
- a second layer 14 of the resin including the first functional group 18 and the second functional group 20 is disposed on the first layer 12 .
- a third layer 16 of the resin including the first 18 and the second 20 functional groups is disposed on the second layer 14 of the resin.
- the first 12 and the second 14 layers are bonded by a covalent bond formed at an interface 22 of the two layers.
- the second 14 and the third 16 layers are bonded by a covalent bond at an interface 24 of the two layers.
- the composite structure 10 includes carbon, fiberglass, basalt fiber, and polymer fiber (such as polyethylene and polyimide) composites.
