摘要

The use of resin transfer moulding (RTM) as an economic and efficient means of producing high-performance fibre-reinforced composites is critically limited by the permeability of the fabrics employed. Commercial fabrics are available where the architecture of the reinforcement is designed to cluster the fibres giving higher permeabilities than conventional fabrics. This has been shown to improve processing times, but there is evidence that such clustering is detrimental to the mechanical performance of the resulting composite material. The objective of this work was to relate variations in permeability, and in the laminate mechanical properties, to differences in microstructure. A series of experimental carbon fibre fabrics woven to incorporate a novel flow enhancement concept (use of 3K tows in a 6K fabric) were used to manufacture plates by RTM in a transparent mould. The progress of the resin front was recorded to computer disc during injection, thus allowing the permeabilities of the fabrics to be calculated. The manufactured plates were subsequently sectioned for mechanical testing (moduli and strengths in tension and compression) and automated image analysis. Relationships were sought between measured permeabilities, mechanical properties and microstructures using a Quantimet 570 automatic image analyser to determine fractal dimensions from polished sections. It has been shown that variations in the microstructures can be related to the permeability and mechanical property values obtained. Further the deterioration of mechanical properties for the novel fabrics with reduced fibre volume fractions is less than has been reported for fabrics with clustered flow-enhancing tows at constant fibre volume fraction.
