up to 140°C while the mould temperature
remained almost constant around 110°C
(Figure 2). The rapid increase in temperature
correlates well to the sharp increase of resistivity (Figure 3). In contrast to the curing
phase where the temperature inside the thick
laminate is higher than the tool temperature,
in the post-curing phase the laminate temper-

ature lagged considerably with respect to the
tool temperature (Figure 2). In the post-curing phase, the temperature of the mould was
gradually increased to the final post-curing
temperature of 185°C.
Besides curing, the resistivity of the resin was
highly affected by the temperature so an algorithm was necessary to transfer these meas-

urements into useful information such as the
degree of cure and/or Tg. Within Ecomise,
Synthesites further developed its calibration
algorithms so that a reliable prediction of the
Tg and/or degree of cure is provided in real
time. As can be seen in Figure 3, the Tg was
sharply increased during the first stage of the
post-curing, while in the second stage the
rate declined considerably. Further trials performed to optimize the process proved that
the sensors provide significant information
that help to further optimize the process in a
secure way.
Industrial demonstrator
Based on its long experience in marine
and tidal blade design and manufacturing,
Airborne designed a brand new tidal blade
and its scaled prototype was tested within the
Ecomise project. After the successful implementation at the lab scale, the monitoring systems were transferred to the real-case demonstrator: a new tidal blade that was monitored
during manufacturing by introducing 21 different sensors:
- 2 cure sensors: The cure sensors were positioned such a way that one was at the
thickest zone in the root and one near the
venting points, where the resin arrives last.
- 4 resin arrival sensors (permanent): Four
flow sensors were positioned in-between
the cure sensors to follow the flow on both
