The success of manufacturing composite parts by liquid composite molding processes with RTM depends on tool designs, efficient heat system, a controlled injection pressure, a stabilized vacuum system, besides of a suitable ...

The study of the capillary flow developed during the processing of composite materials is critical because it acts as an important driving force for the impregnation of the fiber tows. It is also a key mechanism on the ...
