Disadvantages of glass-reinforced plastic : Glass-reinforced plastic has poor rigidity and stiffness. The molding time, because it depends on the thickness and size of the part, ranges significantly from about a few tens of seconds to the order of minutes. However, steel also has its disadvantages, such as its low resistance to corrosion and the resulting limited lifetime, which has lead engineers to look for alternative solutions. Ductility is a solid material's ability to deform under stress. Two of the most common disadvantages are related to the slowness of the part curing time and the possibility of moving the reinforcement fibers during the transfer of the resin. In addition, to reduce the internal voids of the FRP composite parts and to improve the resin impregnation, vacuum assistance can be considered to increase mixture flow in the mold.

The continuous reinforcement material (unidirectional tapes and plies, prepreg fabrics or woven cloths), usually pre-impregnated with the resin, can be placed inside the mold automatically (using robots) or manually. However, it has been reported that the use of GFs and CFs in the RTM process exhibits a positive contribution to the strength and stiffness of FRP composites. The distribution of the temperature fields in the FRP structures can only be determined if the thermal conductivity of the environment is known, while for any engineering material, a low thermal expansion is ideally needed. Experimental investigation on vibration characteristics of shear thickening fluid filled CFRP tubes. Fabrication methods of glass fibre compositesa review The use of these methods ensures sufficient flexibility in optimizing the properties, shape, handling time and production cost of advanced FRP components.

Moreover, due to the low-viscosity fluid and the long reinforcement fibers used in processing, the RTM is particularly suitable for manufacturing low-weight and high-strength FRP composite parts with complex 3D shapes and low resultant voids. The Youngs modulus and elastic strain of the GFRP and CFRP composites increased with the CF and GF to some extent, and then subsequently decreased with a further increase in CF and GF.
