Abstract
The viscoelastic properties of carbon fiber composites whose phenol-formaldehyde matrix is modified by thermodynamically incompatible isocyanate derivatives have been investigated. Data are given on fiber wetting (Table 11), internal stress (Table 2), viscoelastic properties (Fig. 1), and tensile strength (Fig. 2). The modified composites are strengthened by the addition of 0.5–4% oligomer additive. This process involves the formation of a two-phase structure, in which the additive phase microparticles act as a polymer filler. Due to selective interactions, the intermediate layer formed at the fiber-binder interface leads to changes in the viscoelastic properties and tensile strength of the matrix and improved maintenance characteristics for the material as a whole.
