Hyperbranched Polymers for Resin Transfer Molding

Abstract

The purpose of this proposal study new low viscosity thermoset additives - hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) - as processing aids and toughening additives for high performance resin transfer molding (RTM) resins. The proposed research project will culminate with a detailed understanding of the trends in performance properties with materials characteristics, including hyperbranched architecture, blend composition, and processing protocol.
