Development of an LCM process for rapid curing CFRP parts

The project involves the study of a liquid compression moulding (LCM) process for a rapid curing carbon fiber/epoxy material system, which is a candidate material for automotive structural applications. The processed parts will be characterized for defects using microscopy and mechanical tests will be performed to gauge performance. The main outcome is to optimize the LCM process and understand the relationship between various processing parameters and part quality.
