Resin transfer molding


The main issue of interest is to understand the formation of micro voids during the filling process and to develop strategies for their removal. An example of such a strategy is pressure rise during the flushing phase of the process.


Initial Phase: Resin (red) is injected into a fiber mat.

Initially Resin Primarily Impregnates Fiber Complement.

Bubbles Form As Different Resin Branches Meet

Late Stage: Many Bubbles have formed.
