Abstract:Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is ideal for high performance of mechanical pro- perties. However, during the manufacturing process of CFRP, defects or flaws can easily be introduced into the material, among which void is the most common one. Many factors con- tribute to the formation of void including the curing pressure, resin system, environmental conditions and so on, some of which are almost unavoidable. The presence of voids results in a reduction of the mechanical properties of CFRP, which has been the subject of many researchers for several decades. The aim of this paper is to summarize state-of-the-art studies on void formation and its effects on the mechanical properties of CFRP. ? 2016, Polish Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.
