Online training course on composite applications using carbon fibres as a structural reinforcement element. 

In this training course, the student will learn, step by step, all the manufacturing processes used for the production of prepreg carbon/epoxy parts and moulds, used in high performance applications (aeronautics, automotive, nautical, wind power, competition, etc.).

We review the characteristics and main properties of these materials.

– Carbon fibre and epoxy resin prepregs

– Other kind of fibres : Glass fibres & thermoplastic fibres properties (polypropylene, polyethylene, basalt fibres, siliconne)

– Manual lamination and vacuum compaction processes

-Resin injection processes by infusion

– Thermosetting resins properties (high impact strength urethane acrylic resins, polyester resins, cyano ester, bismaleimides)

– Adhesives: Mertaklate, epoxy, urethane acrylics

– Mould release systems: Semi-permanent release agents
