Development of Low-Shrink Epoxy Putty to Solve Appearance-Quality Defects of Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Plastic Automotive Exterior Parts

In this study, epoxy putties with novel compositions were developed for the filling of structural voids in carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs), which are used to fabricate automotive parts. Two constituent solutions—one consisting of epoxy resins and the other consisting of a hardener—were form...
