Manufacturing support for porosity reduction of polymer composite material components

Abstract

The main regulations for manufacturing support of the quality of polymer composite material components based on thermoplastic and thermosetting matrices are presented. Using examples of polymer composite material components, the effect of a molding technology and the chemical nature of a matrix on values of shrinkage and porosity was demonstrated. The effect of shrinkage and porosity on polymer matrices and composite materials based on different reinforcing materials is discussed.
