About awarded research
Z. Guo, S. Lim, Y. Wan and J. Takahashi, Effect of in-mold flow and tape length on void characteristics in CFRTP-SMC. This study examines the evolution of void characteristics in carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic sheet molding compounds (CFRTP-SMC) during compression molding under the influence of molding flow. High-resolution X-CT was used to quantitatively analyze individual void morphology, size, and spatial distribution. The effects of different fiber lengths and varying flow intensities on void characteristics were systematically examined.
