Individual curing process of each layer in two resin composites can be caused the separation between two layers. In this study, co-curing process for two resin composites is suggested to improve the inter-layer bonding. Glass fiber reinforced composites with phenolic and epoxy resins were manufactured by co-curing process, and several types of glass/phenolic composites were considered to confirm the application on two resin composites. Experiments for smoke resistance, scratch resistance and flexural strength were carried out to verify requirements corresponding to thermal and mechanical environments. It was validated that two resin composites with phenolic resin impregnated prepreg exhibits good thermal and mechanical characteristics, and it can serve as highly effective composite structures in aerospace and many industry areas.

In this work, the cure cycle of co-cured metal/composite structure was investigated to decrease fabricating thermal residual stresses between the metal and the composite material. DSC (Differential scanning calorimetry) experiment and static lap shear test of co-cured aluminum/composite double lap joint as well as the curvature experiment of co-cured steel/composite strip were performed to investigate the effect of curing cycle on the thermal residual stress of co-cured hybrid structures. From the experiments, it was found that post curing method after abrupt cooling of co-cured aluminum/composite hybrid structure at certain point of degree of cure during curing process could eliminate fabricating the thermal residual stresses.

A chemical vapor curing method(CVC) was developed to cure polycarbosilane(PCS) fibers by using cyclohexene vapour as a non-oxygen active reactant, instead of air in oder to prepare the silicon carbide(SiC) fiber with low oxygen content. A cross-linked PCS fibers by cyclohexene vapor showed a completely different variation in IR spectra in comparison to the air-cured PCS fiber. CVC method resulted in less than 3 wt% in oxygen content. In this experiment conditions, The average tensile strength and modulus of SiC fiber obtained by CVC had 1995 MPa and 183 GPa respectively, which is higher than that of SiC fiber prepared by air-curing process.

The co-cured Joining method, which is regarded as an adhesively bonded Joining method, is an efficient joining technique because both curing and bonding processes for the composite structures can be achieved simultaneously. It requires neither surface treatment onto the composite adherend nor an additional adhesive joining process because the excess resin, which is extracted from composite materials during consolidation, accomplishes the co-cured Joining process. Since the adhesive of the co-cured joint is the same material as the resin of the composite adherend, the analysis and design of the co-cured joint for composite structures are simpler than those of an adhesively bonded joint, which uses an additional adhesive. In this paper, effects of the manufacturing parameters, namely surface roughness, stacking sequence of the composite adherend, and manufacturing pressure in the autoclave during curing process, on the tensile load bearing capacity of the co-cured single lap joint will be experimentally investigated.

It is shown that the ac breakdown strength, treeing phenomena, oxidation level, and crystallinity of unaged and aged distribution CV cables vary with XLPE insulations (characterizing anti-oxidation) and curing process. The maximum size of bow-tie tree in insulation influenced on the decrease of ac breakdown strength and the increase of oxidation level and crystallinity of XLPE according to aging time lead to increase the size and density of bow-tie trees.

Carbon dioxide generated from construction materials and construction material industry among the fields of construction is approximately 67 million tons. It is about 30% of the carbon dioxide generated in the fields of construction. In order to reduce carbon dioxide in the fields of construction, it is necessary to control the use of fossil fuel consumed and decrease carbon emission by reducing the secondary and tertiary curing generating carbon dioxide in construction material industry. Therefore, this study manufactured mortar by having cement as the Plain and substituting three binding materials up to 50% and then adopted different curing methods to analyze congelation and strength characteristics. Test results for strength property by changing binding materials showed that specimens with blast furnace slag, CSA 15% and CAMC 5% resulted in positive effect for strength.

This study describes the influence of the amount of curing agent and curing temperature on the kinetics of polyurethane elastomers. The urethane prepolymer series was prepared by reacting toluene diisocyanate with polytetramethylene ether glycol at $80^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, and 4,4'-methylene bis(2-chloroaniline) was used as the curing agent. The ratio of the amine group of the curing agent to the isocyanate group of the urethane prepolymer was controlled from 0.85 to 1.05 at curing temperatures ranging from 80 to $120^{\circ}C$. The curing rate of the urethane prepolymer was monitored by observing the change in heat flow during the curing process using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). As either the content of curing agent or the curing temperature was higher, the conversion rate to the polyurethane elastomer was high. The DSC results were compared with those obtained from using real-time FT-IR.

As the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increases, the reduction of CO2 is gaining worldwide attention. In the construction industry, cement replacement materials such as fly ash and blast furnace slag were investigated to reduce CO2 emissions in cement production process. Precast concrete is used in the field after manufacturing in the factory in the form of pipes and bricks because of shortening construction period and cutting construction cost. According to the results of previous research, it is known that early CO2 curing in concrete using OPC or fly ash has an initial strength enhancement effect and can be used for precast concrete production. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the strength improvement effect by confirming the initial strength improvement effect when blast furnace slag is mixed.

Recently, it is the tendency that the CO₂ gas generated in the manufacturing process is increased every year in case of the portland cement used in the most of constructions and civil engineering field. The method that uses the mineral admixtures as the cement substitute material in order to be more serious and as much as it occupies 7% of the global CO₂ gas outlet amount such as 1 ton produces the cement and it ejects the CO₂ gas of 0.4~1.0 ton, etc conclude this problem is examined. Therefore, PVA fiber was mixed into the inorganic binder recycling the blast furnace slag, which is the industrial byproduct with the purpose studying the Geo polymer which doesn't use the cement at all silica fume, red mud, and etc. In addition, the water curing temperature was differentiated and the strength characteristic of the curing body tried to be examined.

UV-Curing technology can be classified into two categories for radical curing and cation curing. It also has mainly focused on surface finishing technology to improve functionality of various substrates such as plastics and metals. On the other hand, EB technology has dealt with cross-linking reactions as well as polymerization process to create novel functional materials. Both technologies have advantages in energy utilizing efficiency and environmental friendly when compared to conventional thermoset coatings. Consequently, UV cured coatings also permits a reduction in the $CO_2$ and VOCs emitted in the drying and curing process. This review mainly shows radical curing technology which is commonly used in UV curing coatings and also describes the technology trends of cation curing which has been attracted attention recently.
