Abstract

An apparatus and method for measuring the characteristics of curing polymers. The apparatus and method utilize cantilever beam technology to determine characteristics of polymers during the curing process, including but not limited to, stress-related forces that develop during the polymer curing process. The apparatus and method also provide for controlling and monitoring environmental conditions during the curing process.
