Report on the Workshop on Manufacturing Polymer Composites by Liquid Molding. Held in Gaithersburg, Maryland on September 20-22, 1993

摘要

The report documents the workshop on manufacturing composites by liquid molding, held at NIST September 20-22, 1993. The workshop was jointly sponsored by NIST, Ford, and General Electric, and attracted a diverse international group of participants from Industry, University and government. Eight invited lectures were presented, and then the workshop divided into five discussion groups to focus on particular issues. A small number of critical issues were identified, including preform deformation inside and outside of the mold, high speed processing, and the establishment of standard reference materials, data, and test methods.
