Description of Experimental Details

A thoughtful, insightful well- detailed and accurate description of the experimental details has been provided and communicated with additional background information

A thoughtful and well-detailed description of the experimental details has been provided and communicated with additional background.

A well-detailed description of the experimental details has been provided and communicated with some additional background.

An adequate description of the experimental details has been provided and communicated.

Insufficient detail or not attempted.

Calculation of kinetic and rheological constants

All constants calculated with quality literature to justify techniques used. Alternative solutions proposed are time efficient and cost effective.

All constants calculated with some literature to justify techniques used. Alternative solutions proposed.

All constants calculated. Some key constants calculated.

Insufficient detail or not attempted.

Optimising manufacture times by modelling rheology

Detailed justification that the temperature profile results in the highest flow factor. Experimental results are linked to the model and an equation has been created and justified that links the practical experiment to resin films.

Justification that the temperature profile results in the highest flow factor. Experimental results are linked to the model and justified.

Multiple temperature profiles were used to calculate the flow factor. Experimental results are linked to the model.

Flow factor has been calculated from a temperature profile. Experimental results and the link to the model are discussed.

Insufficient detail or not attempted.

Identification of test procedures for process validation

The correct procedure is selected for each property. Each procedure contains a high level of justification and explains the steps necessary to carry out the test method.
