Investigation of High Performance Short Fiber Reinforced Plastics.

Abstract

Two short fiber systems, (Hercules' HM-S high modulus graphite and DuPont's PRD-49 high strength organic fiber, each in Fiberite's X-934 epoxide resin matrix) were studied to characterize their mechanical performance potential when compression molded to form random-in-a-plane orientation in a flat bar geometry. The resulting strength and modulus values are discussed.
