Abstract
The effects of cure pressure on resin flow, compaction, void content, and mechanical properties of fiber reinforced composites were investigated. Tests were performed on lami nates made of Fiberite T300/976 and T300/934 unidirectional prepreg tape. Data are pre sented on compaction, resin flow, and void content which lend support to the validity of the Springer-Loos model. Data are also given showing the effects of cure pressure on void content and on the compressive strength and short-beam shear strength and modulus.Keywords
