In-Situ Measurement of Permeability between Carbon Fiber/Resin

Abstract

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is a composite material in which carbon fibers are impregnated with resin to achieve both high strength and high rigidity. CFRP is an excellent material, but it is expensive in terms of materials, manufacturing costs, and capital investment, and it takes a lot of time to complete a product. In order to solve these problems, the demand for de-autoclaving has been increasing in recent years. If molding can be performed without autoclaving, it will be possible to reduce costs and improve productivity in terms of materials and capital investment costs.
