Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to resins/filler/matting composites that are formed via a resin infusion process. Certain embodiments are directed to methods and systems that may be used to produce a moulded composite article. For example, a unitary polymer composite article comprising: 50% to 90% by weight of particles; 10% to 50% by weight of resin; and at least one layer of matting integrally incorporated in the unitary polymer composite.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to resins/filler composites that are formed via a resin infusion process. Certain embodiments are directed to methods and systems that may be used to produce a moulded composite article. An exemplary method comprising: a) filling to a predetermined level a mould tool with particles; b) infusing a resin composition into the mould tool filled with the particles in order to form a composite; c) vibrating the mould tool for a portion of time at one or more of the following stages: during the filling with the particles, after the filling with particles, during the infusing of the resin composition and after the infusions of the resin composition; wherein the composite comprises between 10% to 50% by weight of the resin composition and between 50% to 90% by weight of the particles; and d) curing the composite to form a moulded composite article.
