▎ 摘  要

Low-energy manufacturing of polymeric composites through two-dimensional electrothermal heaters is a promising strategy over the traditional autoclave and oven. Laser-induced graphene paper (LIGP) is a recent emergent multifunctional material with the merits of one-step computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) as well as a flexible thin nature. To fully explore its capabilities of in situ heating, herein, we adventurously propose and investigate the customizable manufacture and modulation of LIGP enabled heaters with multimodally patternable performance. Developed by two modes (uniform and nonuniform) of laser processing, the LIGP heaters (LIGP-H) show distinctively unique characteristics, including high working range (>600 degrees C), fast stabilization (<8 s), high temperature efficiency (similar to 370 degrees C.cm(2)/W), and superb robustness. Most innovatively, the nonuniform processing could section LIGP-H into subzones with independently controlled heating performance, rendering various designable patterns. The above unique characteristics guarantee the LIGP-H to be highly reliable for in situ curing composites with flat, curved, and even inhomogeneous structures. With enormous energy-savings (similar to 85%), superb curing accuracy, and comparable mechanical strength, the proposed device is advantageous for assuring high-quality and highly efficient manufacturing.
