Air evacuation and resin impregnation in semi-pregs: effects of feature dimensions

Prepregs with discontinuous resin (semi-pregs) impart robustness to vacuum-bag-only processing of composites. Limited guidance exists for evaluating advantageous resin patterns (i.e. dry space dimensions required to achieve both efficient air evacuation and full resin infiltration during cure). A fl...
