Resin-based composite structure and method for forming the same

Abstract

A method for forming a resin-based composite structure is provided. The method includes: providing a prepreg layup, wherein the prepreg layup includes an epoxy resin-carbon fiber composite material; covering a thermal-fusion material on a surface of the prepreg layup; and performing a molding and curing process to fuse the thermal-fusion material with the prepreg layup. Wherein the molding and curing process includes: heating at a first temperature to melt, soften and fully fuse the thermal-fusion material with the prepreg layup; and heating at a second temperature to solidify the thermal-fusion material for forming the resin-based composite structure. Wherein the first temperature is lower than the second temperature.
