Zone-regulated microwave heating of CFRP laminates via ultrathin and flexible resonance structures with different working frequencies
TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed an idea to regionally manipulate the temperature distribution of the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate through frequency-selective absorption, and two kinds of periodically arranged metallic resonance structures working at 915MHz and 2.45 GHz were designed and fabricated.About:
