Effect of Injection Rate and Post-Fill Cure Pressure on Properties of Resin Transfer Molded Disks
(Journal of Composite Materials, 2002-08-01)The effects of flow rate andpost-fill cure pressure, i.e., packing pressure, on the mechanical properties of resin transfer molded disks are experimentally investigated. An experimental molding setup is constructed to ... -
Effect of Nanoclay Content on Void Morphology in Resin Transfer Molded Composites
(Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials, 2008-03-01)Effects of nanoclay content on morphology and spatial distribution of voids in resin transfer molded nanoclay/E-glass/epoxy composite disks are investigated. Closite®25A nanoclay loads of 2, 5, and 10wt% are mixed by ... -
Filtration and Breakdown of Clay Clusters during Resin Transfer Molding of Nanoclay/Glass/Epoxy Composites
(Journal of Composite Materials, 2008-11-01)Dispersion of nanoclay clusters during resin transfer molding of nanoclay/glass/epoxy disks is investigated. In addition to a center-gated disk containing only 14% glass fibers, three nanocomposite disks are fabricated ... -
Porosity Reduction in the High-Speed Processing of Glass-Fiber Composites by Resin Transfer Molding (RTM)
(Journal of Composite Materials, 2004-02-01)High-speed processing is essential to achieve lower production cost in the fabrication of fiber-reinforced composites with the current liquid molding practices. A major consequence of increasing the resin injection velocity ...
