Fixing hidden damage in carbon-fiber reinforced epoxy materials with a resin-injection method

A team of researchers from Singapore and the UK, led by Dr. Wei Liang Lai, with supervisor, Associate Professor Kheng Lim Goh, has developed a portable device for repairing hard-to-see damage in carbon fiber materials. The device has great potential for the aerospace industry, such as to repair the fuselage of commercial aircraft. Their work has been published in the journal Polymers for Advanced Technologies.
