Mechanical and thermomechanical characterisation of vacuum-infused thermoplastic- and thermoset-based composites

In this work, a comparative performance study was conducted on glass fibre-reinforced thermoplastic acrylic and thermosetting epoxy laminates produced by vacuum-assisted resin transfer moulding. Mechanical characterisation revealed that the acrylic-based composite had superior transverse tensile str...
