PROCESSING
Northwestern
University has capabilities, experience, and ongoing activities
in processing of polymer matrix composites, including nanocomposites.
Processing methods used include autoclave molding, resin transfer
molding (RTM), and vacuum assisted resin transfer molding
(VARTM). Special techniques have been developed for fabrication
of transparent composites, thick composites, and nanocomposites.
A Center for Intelligent Processing of Composites has been established at Northwestern
University.
