Composite Data

In this study, an investigation on mechanical properties of flax/vinyl ester natural fiber composite was performed. Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM) manufacturing method was adopted for manufacturing the flax fiber composite specimen. The mechanical properties of the manufactured flax composites were compared with flax composite data cited from some references. Based on this, the experimental data showed that the flax/vinyl ester composite has some advantages when it is applied to environment-friendly structure.

AbstractFiber-reinforced composites have favorable structural characteristics such as their light weight, high specific strength, and high stiffness. Vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM), used for manufacturing these composites, is relatively simple and provides materials with excellent mechanical properties. In this study, the author investigated the utility of VARTM in improving the performance of a carbon nanofiber (CNF)/carbon fiber composite impregnated with thermosetting resin. Processing parameters were determined, and the integrity of the manufactured composites was assessed. Carbon and glass fibers were used as reinforcing materials in an epoxy resin matrix. CNFs, which have excellent thermal and electrical characteristics, were dispersed in the composites. The pore sizes using the 0°/90°- and 90°/45° types of laminates were about 45 and 50 μm, respectively. The integrated composites produced had low porosity (below 3.7×10-5%).

Vartm Process

The objective of this paper was focused on predicting the thickness and the interior quality of carbon fiber composite panel during the vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process. The character of the VARTM process determined that it was low cost. A panel made of Epoxy resin, and carbon fibers, was used as the simplest article to experiment and except routine items, the thickness and the interior quality was focused. In the process, the flow front of the resin was record using a digital camera. Darcy’s law was the model of resin flow. The results showed that the flow front history would reach unanimous, thickness near the edges was difficult to control, and most of the porosity came from the injection line where more resin cumulated.
