Method of curing using an electroluminescent light

摘要

Method of curing polymeric compositions using light from an electroluminescent light source. An electroluminescent wire light can be embedded into a curable polymer or adhesive composition and used for curing in circumstances in which UV or visible light from conventional lamps cannot reach the polymer or adhesive to be cured. It may also be used to cure polymer or adhesive coatings of unusual or irregular shapes. An electroluminescent wire light can be embedded in a curable adhesive or polymer compound around an irregular shape of boat hull components, and the emitted light used to cure the adhesive or polymer compound to bond the boat hull components.
