摘要：

Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion Molding (VARIM) is a manufacturing process for composite structures. VARIM is used with resin systems such as polyesters and vinyl esters that typically cure at room temperature. It is also a process used with both epoxy systems that cure at room temperature as well as temperatures in the 82-177 degrees C (180-350 F) range. However, VARIM processing at temperatures above 150-177 degrees C (300-350 degrees F) is rather limited and this paper concentrates on this higher application range. In fact, this paper concentrates on a high temperature BMI resin (Cytec 5250-4RTM) where little processing work has been reported to date using VARIM technology. This work focuses on characterization of process-induced properties that evolve in VARIM. The effects of service environment of temperature and humidity on properties of the composite structures are in the center of this investigation.
