Voids in fiber-reinforced polymer composites: A review on their formation, characteristics, and effects on mechanical performance (2018, background): “This approach was successfully employed to fit the experimental ILSS results of UDply carbon/epoxy composites by other researchers, e.g. by Jeong,146 Costa et al.,155 and Guo et al.225 Recent research does not focus on void content anymore.”
Effect of the carbon nanotube functionalization on flexural properties of multiscale carbon fiber/epoxy composites manufactured by VARIM (2013, background): “It is well known that ILSS values decreases with the void content of the laminates [21].”
Effect of curing cycle on void distribution and interlaminar shear strength in polymer-matrix composites (2011, methodology): “…although there are many papers in the open literature regarding the detrimental effect of voids on the mechanical performance of composites (Costa et al., 2001; Wisnom et al., 1996; Bowles and Frimpong, 1992), there is a lack of information regarding the influence of curing conditions on…”
