Problems solved by technology

The traditional RTM process directly uses dry fibers or fabrics, and there are technical problems such as fiber prefabricated body laying and qualitative difficulties. Especially for RTM molding of large-sized parts, the traditional process has low efficiency of manual brushing and setting agent, and the material system Uniformity and poor stability, etc., so the present invention proposes a low resin content prepreg suitable for automatic laying of RTM preforms, which can apply many performance advantages of prepregs to the RTM molding process to solve above question
The existing technical problems are: 1) The resin content of the prepreg suitable for RTM molding needs to be controlled at a low level, and it is difficult to control the uniformity of impregnation; 2) The low resin content prepreg must meet the requirements of the slitting process to obtain It is suitable for the prepreg tow of the preform automatic laying system. However, due to the low resin content of the prepreg, the tow is prone to splitting during the cutting process

Abstract

The invention provides a prepreg and a preparation method, the prepreg is composed of continuous reinforced fibers, a thin-layer mesh felt and resin, the prepreg is formed by compounding the continuous reinforced fibers and the thin-layer mesh felt by dipping in a double-sided resin film by a hot melting method, and the thin-layer mesh felt is located at one side of the continuous reinforced fibers, wherein the resin accounts for not more than 15% of the mass of the prepreg, the continuous reinforced fibers account for not less than 80% of the mass of the prepreg, and the balance is the thin-layer mesh felt. Through prepreg structure design and preparation process control, the prepreg meets the requirements of a subsequent slitting process and an RTM forming process, and is convenient to store and transport.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a prepreg and a preparation method, belonging to the technical field of composite materials. Background technique [0002] Fiber-reinforced resin-based composites have been widely used in aerospace structures due to their excellent properties such as light weight, high strength and high toughness. In recent years, the development of various low-cost molding technologies has promoted the expansion of the application range of fiber-reinforced resin-based composite materials, and the application scenarios have become more abundant. The resin transfer molding (RTM) process is the earliest liquid molding technology developed for the low cost of advanced composite materials. In the RTM molding process, the dry fibers are firstly fixed with a sizing agent, or the fabric preform is directly placed in a closed mold, and then injected into the resin matrix. After curing and molding, a near-net size composite material component with exce...
