DOI: 10.1177/0021998316676325
Abstract: During composites manufacturing with partially pre-impregnated fibers (i.e. “prepregs”) in Out-of-Autoclave processes, non-impregnated fabric cross-sections serve as air pathways to evacuate entrapped bubbles of air, moisture, or volatiles. The bubbles trapped within a laminate during… read more here.
