Effects of debulk temperature on air evacuation during vacuum bag-only prepreg processing
Air removal prior to cure is critical for limiting porosity during vacuum bag-only (VBO) processing of prepregs. In this study, the effects of pre-cure dwell temperature (debulk) on air evacuation were investigated for both plain weave (PW) and unidirectional (UD) prepregs. In situ observations reve...
