  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING A COMPONENT FROM A FIBER-REINFORCED MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20120247655
    Abstract: The invention relates a method for producing a component from a fiber-reinforced material, wherein a fibrous preform which consists of fibers and an uncured polymer matrix is positioned on a mold, and a thermoelectric film is positioned on the fibrous preform and/or on the mold, and said thermoelectric film is heated up by exposure to microwaves when a negative pressure or vacuum is applied and, as a consequence of this, heats up the fibrous preform while curing the polymer matrix.
