Abstract
Compression resin transfer molding using inflatable seals is a new variant of LCM (“Liquid composite molding”) processes, which uses the inflatable seals to compress the fiber reinforcements and drive the resin to impregnate the fabric preform, resulting to fill the entire mold cavity. During resin injection, the preform is relaxed. Consequently, the resin enters easily and quickly into the mold cavity. After, the necessary resin is injected into the mold cavity, the compression stage takes place, in a stepwise manner, by swelling the inflatable seals. The objective of this paper is to present this new process and study the effect of the number of inflatable seals on the filling time.
