structural health monitoring techniques and
Altair as an expert in process simulation software),
and aircraft component manufacturers
(EireComposites, IDEC and Sonaca) together
with standardization experts (UNE) and an
aeronautics consultancy firm (Arttic).
The 3R composite and its repair method were
validated through the manufacturing of a
transverse stiffener (TS) demonstrator using
the RTM process, which was damaged in a
controlled manner and repaired using a specific
tool to apply localized pressure and heat.
The main steps are described next.
Fig. 2: AIRPOXY concept and main specific objectives (SO)
The AIRPOXY project is conducted by a
consortium made up of the resin developers
(Cidetec), key technology providers (Leibniz-IVW
as an expert in thermoplastic composites
thermoforming and welding, Eurecat
as an expert in RTM and LCA/LCC/HHRA
Design and production of
the transverse stiffener
As a first step, Cidetec formulated the 3R
epoxy resin with a Tg of 170°C, taking into
account three main goals: (1) producing a
vitrimer resin - therefore reprocessable, repairable
and recyclable; (2) meeting the aeronautical
sector's specifications in terms of
mechanical and thermal properties; and (3)
being suitable for the RTM process in terms
of rheology and curing kinetics.
