composites frontal-polymerization sustainability

We’ve just achieved a landmark in composite manufacturing: curing a 1-meter propeller using frontal polymerization (FP)! 🚀 This energy-efficient technique harnesses self-sustaining reaction fronts to cure thermoset resins in minutes — not hours — significantly reducing energy use by more than 90% compared to conventional oven or autoclave methods, which are both time- and energy-intensive.
