Abstract: To obtain the nice wetting behavior between vinyl ester resin and glass fiber, two kinds of vinyl ester systems and three kinds of glass fiber were investigated. The suitable resin and additive ingredient ratio was confirmed based upon changing the surface tension through introducing additive, and combining the target test that determined the wetting rate of resin penetrating into glass fiber, respectively. The checked resin system was applied to composite plates by using RTM technology to ensure the consistency between the research and workmanship. So, the best corporation that what kinds of resin system and fiberglass is determined. It revealed that the wetting behavior of resin will be improved by decreasing surface tension of resin system.

Key words: vinyl ester resin, wettability, surface tension, target test, resin transform molding
