Processing and designing parts using structural reaction injection molding

  • Published:
Journal of Materials Shaping Technology

Abstract

A new process called structural reaction injection molding (SRIM) has been developed to combine the high strength and modulus properties of fiber reinforced composites with the advantages of the reaction injection molding process. Along with the process, a new reactive resin has been developed expressly for the structural RIM process. With the new resin and SRIM process conventional design methods can be used, but the designer must also consider several facets of the structural RIM process.
