    Abstract
    The high versatility of polyurethanes (PU’s) is encouraging the development of new formulations for new appli cations, like their use as a matrix for structural composites. PU’s based technology offers some advantages, such as fatigue resistance and fast curing cycles. However, their high reactivity hinders some manufacturing processes like Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM). This work aimed to achieve a PU resin (PUR) formulation with the required latency and reactivity for the RTM. For this purpose, different catalytic systems based on an epoxide and LiCl were investigated. The reactivity of the systems was evaluated through Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and rheology tests, and the curing reaction and viscosity were modelled. Furthermore, the RTM process of a representative composite part was simulated. Results demon strated the processability improvements when the LiCl was incorporated into the isocyanate component of the formulation combined with a monool or a diol. It was ...
