Resumen
This article describes a novel variant of the vacuum infusion process based on a multifunctional elastomeric reusable vacuum bag. The main innovation of this process is an elastomeric membrane having resin flow channels that can be controlled during the infusion process: they can be activated for the impregnation stage to enhance resin flow and removed during the curing stage to provide a smooth surface finish to the part. In addition, the size of the resin flow channels can be modified during the infusion providing control on the impregnation rate. This article describes the driven flow vacuum infusion (DFVI) process and presents analytical calculations regarding the effect of the geometrical design of the membrane and the processing variables on the porosity, permeability, and volume of resin transported by the flow medium. Preliminary results of unidirectional resin infusion tests comparing the DFVI process to traditional vacuum infusion and SCRIMP are also presented.
