Abstract: This paper explores the innovative approach of surface functionalization on thermoset composites to enhance their weldability via hybrid infrared welding techniques. By integrating chemical treatments and physical modifications, we aim to improve the interface bonding between thermoset composites, which traditionally exhibit limited weldability due to their cross-linked polymer structures. The study evaluates the effects of various functionalization processes on welding efficiency, mechanical properties, and durability of the welded joints.
