Interpenetrating polymer network approach to tough and microcracking resistant high temperature polymers. III, LaRC-RP71

A high performance semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) has been synthesized from Thermid-600 and LARC-TPI. Notable improvements in resin fracture toughness and graphite fiber reinforced composite microcracking resistance over the unmodified Thermid-600 neat resin and composite have been...

Description
Summary:A high performance semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) has been synthesized from Thermid-600 and LARC-TPI. Notable improvements in resin fracture toughness and graphite fiber reinforced composite microcracking resistance over the unmodified Thermid-600 neat resin and composite have been realized. The chemistry, processing, physical and mechanical properties, and phase morphology of the neat resin and composite reinforced with graphite fibers are presented.
