Original Abstract

The present paper provides a description of the RFI (Resin Film Infusion) method and influence of the polymer epoxy systems and their reinforcements on the mechanical properties of the whole composite specimen. Part A: The composite specimens were prepared from various types of reinforcements and matrices, as noted below. The basic experimental part of the research program was focused on the property verification of two polymer epoxy matrix systems applicable to RFI technology. Test specimens were prepared by 5M Ltd. Borsice u Buchlovic, Czech Republic, Europe. Part B: Other samples of hybrids (Basalt/Kevlar) and UD (unidirectional) composites were fabricated and tested at the IAE (Institute of Aerospace Engineering), Brno University of Technology. The epoxy resin foils LFX023, LFX032 and LFX035 were applied. Part C: In this part unidirectional (UD) materials were tested. Thanks to the resin properties it was easy to get clear material after selecting the right curing cycle.
