Senior Laboratory -- Composites

Design of Cure Cycles for Thick Section Composites

Wecome to the archived page of the composites senior lab experiment. Until a recent move to WebCT for course related materials, this webpage served as the primary resource for Chemical Engieering Seniors taking the lab course at the University of Delaware. This particular experiment was recently profiled in Chemical Engineering Education (Summer 2002, v36, n3, pp 226-231). If you have any questions about this lab and the accompanying on-line simulations of the process, please contact Dennis Michaud
