In this research microwave curing is used to support fast curing in order to prevent changes to the form and shape of a selective applied layer. In this investigation the layer consists of a liquid mixture of epoxy resin with aluminium particles is cured using microwave heating and is further used in rapid product development. The issue of statistical modelling of the fast curing process of thin epoxy resin layers using microwave heating is addressed in this paper. The modelling by a linear regression method is based on information available from the curing process as well as from data collected performing the Dynamic Scanning Calorimetry analysis. To reach the state of dimensional stability, the curing temperature of the layer material was controlled using two options. First, through the reduction of the microwave power and second, through altering the turntable speed so that the microwave exposure time of the layer was monitored. This operation was controlled using appropriate computer software.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from and citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from theindexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
