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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
