Abstract
A process for fabrication of composite articles using electroset materials. Conductive substrates are formed defining the shape of the product to be formed. Electroset material is placed between the substrates and the substrates energized by high voltage. Fluid between the conductive portions of the substrates is under the Winslow effect whereas fluid between nonconductive portions of the substrate is not so affected. The fluid between conductive portions is retained by the Winslow effect and cured.
