Resin Transfer Moulding for Automobile Manufacture: Reality and Simulation

  • Chapter

Abstract

The real market place for composite materials is for artifacts which fulfill an economic need through new combinations of material properties, enhanced performance, improved aesthetics and lower manufacturing costs. Composite materials must compete against the whole spectrum of existing and new materials and their associated technologies.
