Moisture Effects on the Mechanical Properties of Hercules 3501-6 Epoxy Resin.

Abstract

The following properties of the Hercules 3501-6 epoxy resin were determined: Young's modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, ultimate strength, and ultimate strain, all as a function of temperature (between 21 and 150 C) and as a function of moisture concentration corresponding to an equilibrium concentration from 0-100 percent relative humidity. The purpose of this investigation was to obtain the necessary constituent material property data for predicting the environmental response of 3501-6 carbon fiber reinforced composites. (Author)
