Curing is an important and time consuming step in the fabrication of thermosettingmatrix composite products. The use of embedded resistive heating elements providing supplemental heating from within the material being cured has been shown in previous studies (Ramakrishnan, Zhu, and Pitchumani, 2000, J. Manuf. Sci. Eng., 122, pp. 124-131;, Compos. Sci. Technol., 60, 2699-271
