Film resin infusion as an advanced method for out-of-autoclave processing of polymer composites
A rapid increase in the portion of polymer composite materials (PCM) in structures of civil aircraft occurred in the 2000-s, allowed to increase significantly reliability and service life of aviation equipment and to reduce its weight. However, there was a vital problem to reduce the cost of PCM structures, which always were more expensive than similar parts made of metal. In many ways, the high cost of PCM products depends on high labor- and power consumption of autoclave technology, which at present is most widely used in the aircraft industry, as well as by high costs of relevant equipment. In recent years, VIAM actively develops the out-of-autoclave production of PCM parts. The results of the works performed by VIAM to develop PCM-based woven fillers produced by impregnation with film binder are described. Comparative elastic-strength characteristics of the produced carbon fiber-reinforced plastic are given.
