Abstract
AbstractA new hybrid process for fiber-reinforced plastics based on thermosets combining master-forming and forming in one tool is currently undergoing development. The advantage of this technique is the integrated forming and overmolding of a thermoset-based continuous fiber-reinforced sheet in one step. Although both components are epoxy based, the resin formulations slightly differ and thus require individual curing parameters. For successful combination into one process, it is essential to investigate both components in relation to the processing parameters and their influence on the degree of cure. Besides the influence on the forming and filling behavior, the degree of cure also has an effect on the resulting mechanical properties. In this investigation, the influence of curing time and temperature on the degree of cure of epoxy-based materials was investigated with regard to identifying a process window for a process combination of master-forming and forming.
