Curing epoxy under higher pressures?
Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2011 9:49 am
Has anyone tried curing epoxy under higher pressures than 1 atmosphere?
Whenever I read articles of on performance composites it seems that curing under high pressures seems to be part of story. I guess this makes sense cause it pushes the epoxy deeper into the core material for better adhesion?
I was wondering if anyone knew how high the pressure needs to be to start getting benefits? Also, wondering if higher temperatures give you more bang for your buck than high pressure?
Cheers
