Effect of Nanoclay Content on Void Morphology in Resin Transfer Molded Composites
Youssef K. Hamidi; Levent Aktas; M. Cengiz Altan (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 ... -
Effect of Preform Thickness and Volume Fraction on Injection Pressure and Mechanical Properties of Resin Transfer Molded Composites
Kristian A. Olivero; Youssef K. Hamidi; Levent Aktas; M. Cengiz Altan (Journal of Composite Materials, 2004-06-01)An experimental study is performed to characterize the effect of the thickness of random preforms on injection pressure and mechanical properties of resin transfer molded (RTM) parts. Center-gated, disk-shaped parts are ... -
Filtration and Breakdown of Clay Clusters during Resin Transfer Molding of Nanoclay/Glass/Epoxy Composites
Levent Aktas; Sudha Dharmavaram; Youssef K. Hamidi; M. Cengiz Altan (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 ...
