The first process is thermoplastic compression resin transfer molding in which a glass fiber mat is impregnated in through thickness by a thermoplastic polymer. The second process is a melt-thermoplastic Resin Transfer Molding (RTM)...journal article 2022

Gomez, Colin (author), Salvatori, Damiano (author), Caglar, Baris (author), Trigueira, Robin (author), Orange, Gilles (author), Michaud, Véronique (author)In Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), resin precursors of thermoset or, more recently, thermoplastic polymers are generally employed, raising issues related to the chemical reaction taking place during and after part processing. In this study, already polymerized polyamide-6 with low melt-viscosity (~30 Pa·s at 280 °C), is injected at low pressure...journal article 2021
