Comparison of vacuum assisted resin infusion and resin transfer moulding on thickness uniformity, surface quality and mechanical properties of flax fibre bio-epoxy composites

Composites composed of plant fibres and bio-based resin systems expand the range of sustainable materials for lightweight applications. However, natural fibres require special handling during manufacturing due to their high hydrophilic nature in order to achieve acceptable quality, and the end properties strongly depen...
