HOMEWORK $-$ Epoxy Prepolymer Thin Film Manufacturing and Prepreg

Development

MUST BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO IN$-$PERSON LAB MEETING

For a desired aerospace prepreg, the carbon fiber areal weight is $190gsm.$ The matrix content is $33wt\%.$ Calculate the film areal weight by gsm considering we use two film method.

Repeat the calculation from #$1$ considering if we used the one film method. What would the carbon fiber areal weight be if the prepreg areal weight is $284gsm?$ Is the carbon fiber areal weight within farbon fiber areal weight tolerances?

The linear density of a dry carbon fiber tow is $0\mathrm{.}198\frac{g}{m}.$ The density of the carbon fiber is $1\mathrm{.}76\frac{g}{c}{m}^3$ and the average filament diameter is $7m.$ Determine the number of filaments Reinforced Composites by P$.$K$.$ Mallick.$)$
