摘要
Microstructures of laminates produced by epoxy/carbon fibers with different fiber volume fraction were studied by analyzing the composite cross-sections.The main result of the compaction of reinforcement is the flatting of bundle shape,the reducing of gap and the embedment of bundles among each layer.The void content outside the bundle decreased sharply during the compaction until it is less than that inside the bundle when the fiber volume fraction is over 60%.The resin flow velocity in the fiber tow is 102-104 times greater than the flow velocity out the fiber tow no matter the capillary pressure is taken into account or not.
Microstructures of laminates produced by epoxy/ carbon fibers with different fiber volume fraction were studied by analyzing the composite cross-sections. The main result of the compaction of reinforcement is the flatting of bundle shape, the reducing of gap and the embedment of bundles among each layer. The void content outside the bundle decreased sharply during the compaction until it is less than that inside the bundle when the fiber volume fraction is over 60%. The resin flow velocity in the fiber tow is 10^2 - 10^4 times greater than the flow velocity out the fiber tow no matter the capillary pressure is taken into account or not.
