At present, composites material becomes common material in industries such as aerospace, aeronautical, automobile and also sports. The high specific stiffness and also high specific weight makes it ideal for the panel ans structure parts of the product in that particular industries. This show the growth of composites manufacturing industries thus high rate of production. These composites material is costly compared to other metal due to its complicated and lengthy fabrication process. Also, due to its uniquely curing process, it requires time for curing and also heat in order to help the curing makes the composites material to rise in price. Therefore, microwave curing process is studied in order to shorten the curig process without ignoring the performance of the material.
