A method of forming a composite member comprises placing a heat formable resin adjacent fibers to form a fiber member or members and forming the same into a plurality of for example tubular members. The fiber member is placed against a first mold part. An expandable material is distributed into a distributed configuration and expands under the application of heat. The distributed material is optionally stabilized in the distributed configuration to form an expandable member, which is placed said expandable member adjacent said fiber member. A second mold parts seals the mold forming a closed cavity containing the fiber member and the expandable member. The mold parts are heated, causing the expandable material to expand and form a pressure, which drives the fiber member against one of the mold parts, the mold parts also heating the resin adjacent the fibers. The resin then hardens to form the composite member. |
