Processing, thermosets resin transfer molding

SCRIMP process This Seeman Composites Resin Infusion Process (SCRIMP) is described as a gas-assist resin transfer molding process. As an example glass fiber fabrics/ thermoset vinyl ester polyester plastic and polyurethane foam panels (for insulation) are placed in a segmented tool. A vacuum is pulled with a bag so that a huge amount of plastic can be drawn into the mold (Marco process approach). Its curved roof is made separately and bonded to the box with mechanical and adhesive fastening. It is similar to various reinforced plastics molding processes.

Misra et al. discovered that chicken feather fibers can be nsed as filters to remove heavy metals through the process of biosorption. They reported that the fibers could remove gold, platinum, lead, copper, and several other heavy metals from solutions. Several researchers have incorporated feather fibers into composites. Schmidt blended feather fibers with polyethylene fibers, and then melted them together, while others have used thermoset matrices, to form composites for potential use as air filters, automotive panels, and shaped plastic parts, where the feather fiber can replace glass fibers as material reinforcement. Others are evaluating the feather fibers for use in resin transfer molding."... 

Thermosetting resins are usually processed by compression molding, filament winding, hand lay-up, pultrusion, reaction injection molding (RIM, RRIM), resin transfer molding (RTM) and vacuum bagging.

The cure of thermoset resins involves the transformation of a liquid resin, first with an increase in viscosity to a gel state (rubber consistency), and finally to a hard solid. In chemical terms, the liquid is a mixture of molecules that reacts and successively forms a solid network polymer. In practice the resin is catalyzed and mixed before it is injected into the mold thus, the curing process will be initialized at this point. The resin cure must therefore proceed in such a way that the curing reaction is slow or inhibited in a time period that is dictated by the mold fill time plus a safety factor otherwise, the increase in viscosity will reduce the resin flow rate and prevent a successful mold fill. On completion of the mold filling the rate of cure should ideally accelerate and reach a complete cure in a short time period. There are limitations, however, on how fast the curing can proceed set by the resin itself, and by heat transfer rates to and from the composite part. 

Diallyl Phthalate Resin Thermoset supplied as diallyl phthalate prepolymer or monomer. Has high chemical, heat and water resistance, dimensional stability, and strength. Shrinks during peroxide curing. Processed by injection, compression, and transfer-molding. Used in glass-reinforced tubing, auto parts, and electrical components. Also called DAP. 

Transfer molding n. A molding process used mainly for thermosetting resins and vul-canizable elastomers. The molding material, usually preheated, is placed in an open pot with a hole in its bottom atop the closed mold. The cross-sectional...
