Abstract: This paper reviewed the research and development trends in the most usually used four curing processes for fiber reinforced resin matrix composites, which include autoclave curing, electron beam curing, microwave curing and laser curing. Forthermore, the molding processes, curing mechanisms, advantages and disadvantages of these four curing processes were discussed, and their current technical problems and solutions were described. Finally, the most recent progress at home and abroad in this field was introduced, and the trend in development of curing technology for composite materials was discussed.
