The effect of micro-bubbles elimination prior resin infusion process

Abstract

The treatment of resin mixture prior to resin infusion is discussed. The eliminationof micro-bubble due to entrained air during mixing process had been done using anovel technique of capillary separation method. In this process micro-bubbleswere separated from viscous resin mixture, thus bubble-free resin was producedand then infused. Tested samples using treated resin experimentally showed lessvoid contents and higher tensile strength.
