Abstract
The temperature dependence of liquid epoxy resin impregnation under atmospheric pressure was measured under the condition that the impregnation was through polyester non-woven fabric sheets, sandwiched between two circular glass plates. It was expected that impregnation would take place to a small extent, because the pressure in the sheet increases to more than atmospheric pressure in the course of impregnation from the perimeter of the circular sheet toward its center, but the liquid resin impregnates to a great extent and impregnating velocity increases with a rise in temperature. This phenomenon can be analyzed by the Kozeny-Carman equation improved by the introduction of the theoretically calculated capillary force in the modeled fiber bed structure and a parameter to postulate gas solubility and diffusion into the liquid resin. An increase in the impregnating velocity with the temperature rise is caused by decrease in the resin viscosity, by increase of the capillary force pressure and by decrease in the gas pressure corrected by a parameter.
