Epoxy powders were investigated as a processing route for fast, low-cost manufacturing of thick-section fibre reinforced polymer parts. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential …
Validations of a one-dimensional process model are carried out by manufacturing thick- section glass-fibre reinforced composite laminates with a low-exotherm epoxy powder. An …
A resin flow model for vacuum-bag-only prepregs is coupled with heat transfer in a commercially available finite element software. The coupled model simulates the processing …
Manufacturing thick-section structures from thermoset-based composites can be challenging due to the exothermic curing reaction. With a low thermal conductivity through the thickness …
