Composites with Improved Compressive Properties

Abstract

A two year program was initiated on October 1, 1990 to pursue new approaches on improving the compressive properties of polymer based composites. This included work directed at new kinds of reinforcing agents, improved matrices and on the fiber matrix interface. A number of significant breakthroughs were achieved as a result of this study. In the case of the polymer matrix studies sufficient progress was made to justify additional funding and time extensions.
