Abstract: Glass fiber reinforced vinyl resin composites were prepared by vacuum aided resin transfer molding process (VARTM). The influence of different solvents on mechanical properties of composite was investigated, and the fracture morphology was studied by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM), for mechanical property analysis. The results indicated that the prepared composites exhibited considerable corrosion-resistance behaviors, where the modulus of the composites nearly maintained its level after being immersed in the solvents for 180 days, while its bending strength or tensile strength slightly decreased by 5%~10%, due to the reduction of interface bonding strength, showing neglectable influence on their mechanical performances. All of these results provided the technical supports for the engineering applications of composites.
