Research abstract
LOW COST PREFORMS ARE ESSENTIAL TO ACHIEVING ECONOMIC RTM. NO CURRENT TEXTILE PROCESS CAN PRODUCE A COMPLETE PREFORM AND SECONDARY PROCESSES WILL ADD TO THE COST OF RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING. A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING AN ORIENTED FIBER FELT IS PROPOSED. THE FELT WILL ALLOW RAPID ONE-STEP PREFORMING AT A LOW COST. THE PROGRAM LEADS INTO A PHASE II WHICH WILL DEVELOP A DEMONSTRATION PART TO SHOW THE LOW COST OF RTM.
