Abstract
Based on the well‐established polyurethane (PUR) spray coat method, an integral manufacturing process is developed to simultaneously create textile‐reinforced top and bottom layers as well as the cellular core in one single production step for advanced sandwich structures. Since the foaming matrix impregnates the textile layers during expansion and also serves as core material in the final part, these sandwich elements are connected cohesively with each other. Within this paper, impregnation studies are conducted to evaluate the influence of process parameters, such as mold temperature and dwelling time of the foam matrix, as well as part geometry and foam density on the local yarn impregnation. Evaluation of cell morphology is performed by measuring the cell size distribution inside impregnated yarns.
