Resin transfer moulding (RTM) involves the long-range flow of resin into a dry fibre pack that
is preloaded into a defined mould cavity. Resin infusion under flexible tooling (RIFT) can be …

As a result of a growing awareness of the interconnectivity of global environmental factors,
principles of sustainability, industrial ecology, ecoefficiency, and green chemistry and …

Vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding or resin vacuum infusion process was used to make
composite panels out of plant oil-based resin [acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO)] and …

As part of developing an all natural composite roof for housing application, structural panels
and unit beams were manufactured out of soybean oil based resin and natural fibers (flax …

The resin infusion process (aka VARTM, SCRIMP) has developed as a low cost method for
manufacturing large fibre reinforced plastic parts. This process still presents some …

Ultrasonic imaging in the C-scan mode was used to measure the flow rate of an epoxy resin
film penetrating through the thickness of a single layer of woven carbon fabric. Assemblies …

The flow of an epoxy resin and compaction behavior of carbon fiber preform during vacuum-
assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) infiltration was measured using an instrumented …

The traditional processes for the manufacture of high performance composite shell
structures are (i) vacuum bagging (VB)/VB with autoclave cure VB (A),(ii) resin transfer …

Systematic experiments have been carried out by monitoring the in-situ pressure and
thickness profiles for three different configurations, viz., flat plate, flat plate with a central …

The final thickness of a product after the vacuum infusion process (VIP), which is equal to the
fiber volume fraction, depends in part on the compression responses of the preform because …
