Why do plastics heat up when they are irradiated?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Indicate at least three problems of most composite processes that are solved in RTM.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

The irradiation process bombards the plastic material with much energy. Some of the energy is absorbed in the reactions, such as crosslinking, which occur within the polymer. The remainder of the energy can, therefore, be absorbed by the

polymer. This absorption would cause an increase in the temperature of the polymer.

Answer to Question 2

Dangerous fumes, it allows for a higher degree of automation, increases repeatability.
