THE INFLUENCE OF CURE TEMPERATURES AND PRELOAD ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE OF REINFORCED PLASTICS

Abstract

NOL-type rings were prepared at different cure temperatures. Some of these rings were subjected to different degrees of preload in flexure before being subjected to different environmental conditions. The results showed that the optimum cure temperature for the resin system used was 350 F and that the degree of preload had no significant effect on the environmental resistance of these particular laminates or on its proportional limit.
