Core Programs of High-Performance Composite Materials.

Abstract

Routine evaluation of composites and components continued from the previous contract. Materials used in the P4 low cost composite program were evaluated by microscopy and FTIR. The polyester matrix resins used in these glass composites composed the surface bubble material but the fibers were generally well dispersed and well impregnated. The use of electron beam curing of composites for aerospace was continued with the evaluation of new formulations using cationic initiators. DSC on the e-beam cured materials showed incomplete cure relative to thermally cured panels.
