Thermoplastic matrix?based composites produced by resin transfer molding: A review

The recycling of thermoset-based composites is challenging. replacement thermosetting resins with thermoplastics an initial step to address this issue, together the use green reinforcements. Owing recent development low-viscosity thermoplastic resins, it possible produce matrix using resin transfer molding (RTM) technique, which was originally conceived for production composites. These are based on cyclic esters, methyl methacrylate, and (butylene terephthalate) oligomers. This review presents state-of-the-art works reported via a RTM (TP-RTM) process, from in situ polymerization through optimization TP-RTM parameters evaluation composite properties.
