The addition of a small amount of nanoclay (1-3 wt%) can provide excellent volume shrinkage control of unsaturated polyester (UP)/styrene (St)/poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) systems cured at room temperature. PVAc serves as the low profile additive (LPA). In this study, both temperature-induced phase separation of the uncured resin mixture and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the cured sample revealed that nanoclay resided in the LPA-rich phase, leading to a higher reaction rate and earlier onset of micro-cracking in the LPA-rich phase or at the interface of the LPA-rich and UP-rich phases. Consequently, an earlier volume expansion during curing was observed in reactive dilatometry, resulting in better shrinkage control. On-line measurement of the composite thickness change during vacuum-infusion liquid composite molding [e.g. the Seemann Composite Resin Infusion Molding Process (SCRIMP)] further proved excellent volume shrinkage control of nanoclay filled systems, leading to a smoother composite surface.
