The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect processing temperature on interfacial failure glass/Elium® 150 composites. vacuum assisted resin transfer molding technique (VARTM) was used manufacture composites at three different process temperatures: room (24℃), 50℃ and 80℃. interlaminar shear strength, mode I II fracture toughness laminates were determined by performing short beam (SBS), dou...

Although aramid fiber has the advantage of excellent chemical and mechanical properties, performance composites may be reduced due to low interfacial adhesion between fabric matrix. The surface was modified improve properties. fibers treated with ZnCl2 polydopamine. After pretreated fabrics were made into a composite material by vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process, their inve...

A wood-based prepreg was formed using vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) and a low viscosity thermoplastic resin. Wood strands were assembled to make porous mat for injection. The filled most of the cavities inside wood cells resulting in void volume fraction 7%. Young’s modulus strength saturated 38% 124% higher, respectively, than those prior infusion. Flat laminates produced by t...
