An investigation of the use of the vacuum assisted moulding process for the production of high fibre volume fraction composites (TM-PDU-82)

An investigation was carried out into the use of the vacuum assisted moulding process (VAMP) for the production of glass fibre reinforced polyester (GRP) composites with high fibre volume fractions and good physical properties. Various types of glass reinforcement were evaluated, namely three types of chopped strand mat, a continuous...
