dc.description.abstractAdditive Manufacturing (AM) has provided a new potential for material customization through the reduction in geometric constraints of products. The freeform geometry produced using AM allows for the creation of optimized structural parts that reduce weight and material waste. In addition, AM reduces production time by providing a model to product workflow with limited requirements for tooling and machine setup in advance. However, current work in printing thermoset composite parts is limited. One of the confounding factors in the AM of thermoset composites involves in situ curing of the composite resin system. This research proposes the creation of an additive manufacturing process for thermoset composites based upon induction initiated thermoset curing. The use of induction-based curing will allow the production of parts without the normal constraint of either oven or autoclave curing. A rapid curing resin system will be reinforced using milled fiber reinforcement and doped with a ferromagnetic susceptor to induce homogenous heating and curing of the resin in situ. The resulting composite will be evaluated for mechanical performance versus oven cure samples. Scanning electron microscopy in tandem with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy will be used to validate homogenous particle dispersion. Lastly, differential scanning calorimetry will be used to compare the degree of polymer conversion between induction and conventional curing.en_US
