Impact Resistance of Interleaved FRP Using Non-Woven Fabric as Interleaf Materials

The vacuum assisted resin transfer molding process (VaRTM) is a lower-cost molding method than autoclave molding, and therefore the VaRTM method is preferred for use with structural composites molding. On the other hand, interleaf technology is known as an effective method for improving impact resistance for composite laminates. However, it is impossible to exploit polymer films as interleaf materials when using the VaRTM processing method as...
