Abstract

In this paper, a novel Z-direction flowing RTM technology using an in-mold resin distributor has been applied to the "Ex-situ" composites and the process feasibility was evaluated. The effect of injection type on distribution of fiber volume fraction and thermoplastic toughener in the composite were investigated. The results showed that perfect internal quality composite panels could be fabricated via the novel RTM technology and the injection type has some effects on distribution of fiber volume fraction along the thickness direction of the panels. After the injection and curing cycle, the typical bicontinuous phase structures were mainly observed at the interlaminar and also slightly spreading into the fibre beam.
