Nano-Engineered Vacuum Reduction Technique for Manufacturing Aerospace-Grade Low Void Content Composites

Exclusively Licensed

Methods and systems for the fabrication of composite materials are generally described. Certain inventive methods and systems can be used to fabricate composite materials with few or no defects. According to certain embodiments, composite materials are fabricated without the use of an autoclave. In some embodiments, composite materials are fabricated in low pressure environments.
