NOVEL RESIN-CURING PROCESS ENABLING THE ACTINIC RADIATION CURE OF RESINS CONTAINING SHIELDINGS AGAINST ACTINIC RADIATIONS; COMPOSITION FOR THE PROCESS, MOLDINGS, AND MOLDING PROCESS

摘要

An object of the present invention is to completely cure a resin composition highly capable of screening energy radiation, such as a carbon fiber-reinforced composite material (CFRP), simply by exposing the resin composition to UV radiation in the presence of a specific photopolymerization initiator system (reaction catalyst system) comprising at least two components. To this end, the present invention provides a resin curing method wherein, when a resin composition is exposed to energy radiation typified by UV radiation, another kind of first energy than the energy from an energy radiation source is autogenously generated within the resin, and the same kind of second energy is successively generated by the autogenously generated energy, so that the resin composition is cured by means of the first and second energies, or both the first and second energies and the energy from the energy radiation source, whether or not the resin composition contains a substance capable of screening energy radiation.
