Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites: Open Mould vs Closed Mould Processes

Fibre-reinforced polymer composites are behind everything from wind turbine blades to sporting equipment. This episode covers the two main production routes: open mould (hand lay-up, spray-up) and closed mould (RTM, vacuum infusion), plus the properties and applications of glass, carbon, and aramid fibre composites. Topics: fibre-reinforced polymers | FRP | open mould processing | closed mould | resin transfer moulding | carbon fibre | glass fibre.Follow the podcast on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠ @materialsdeepdive to see the behind the scenes.Disclaimer: This audio is AI generated from personal notes
