Abstract
A system is disclosed herein. The system includes a mold including a cavity, the cavity configured to receive a preform having a three-dimensional woven fabric and a port formed through the mold and into the cavity, wherein the port is configured to introduce a mixture of a resin and a hardener into the cavity, the resin filling the cavity and penetrating into the preform
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a mold including a cavity, the cavity configured to receive a preform having a three-dimensional woven fabric;
- and
- a port formed through the mold and into the cavity, wherein the port is configured to introduce a mixture of a resin and a hardener into the cavity, the resin filling the cavity and penetrating into the preform.
A method, comprising:
- introducing a preform into a mold, the preform including a three-dimensional woven fiber;
- introducing a resin mixture into the mold so that the resin mixture penetrates into the three-dimensional woven fiber of the preform, the resin mixture including a resin and a hardener;
- applying pressure to the mold causing the resin mixture to penetrate throughout the preform;
- and
- curing the resin mixture in the preform to form a monolithic composite material.

A method comprising:
- introducing a preform into a cavity of a mold, the preform including a three-dimensional woven fabric;
- sealing the preform in the mold;
- introducing a polyurethane system into the mold, the polyurethane system penetrating the preform;
- compressing the mold to push the polyurethane system into the preform;
- and
- curing the polyurethane system in the mold to form a monolithic composite material including the preform and the cured polyurethane system.
