Preparation of Glass Fabric/Poly(l-lactide) Composites by Thermoplastic Resin Transfer Molding

Abstract: This study reports the first example of the production of polylactide composites prepared by Thermoplastic Resin Transfer Molding (T-RTM) via in situ bulk polymerization of l-lactide (l-LA) after injection in a closed mold containing glass fabrics. Tin octoate Sn(Oct)2 was used as the catalyst and first evaluated at the lab-scale in the experimental conditions required in the tank and in the mold of the RTM device. The reactions were then upscaled in the RTM in the absence of reinforcement to ensure the feasib… Show more

“…The laminated composite is one of them. It is the superposition of fibers (carbon fibers, glass fibers [5] or plant fibers) and resin, by imitating the physiological structure of nacre (Mother of Pearl) layers. Some natural biological materials have excellent matching in structure and function, such as bamboo, wood, bones, natural fibers, nacre and others [6,7].…”

“…It was planned to design and build a compression mold for curing CFRP inside the university campus and test CFRP's compressive properties. A closed cylindrical mold was designed using the principles of the machine design and mechanics of material that the students studied through their undergraduate course, where the dimensions were drawn using CATIA, a software used for drawing and modeling [48]. The detailed engineering drawings were checked by the supervisor and considered to manufacture a compression mold from aluminum to process CFRP under a compression load, where a temperature regulation mechanism was designed to keep the curing temperature under control, as shown in Figure 6.…”

“…The present study aimed to develop and characterise the biocarbon nanoparticles used in combination with nonwoven kenaf fibre in vinyl ester composite. As functional nanomaterials were filled in Kenaf fibre, bionanocarbon was filled in reinforced vinyl ester composites via resin transfer moulding technique [ 31 ]. The activated bionanocarbon was incorporated in the composites at different filler loading.…”
