Applied Composite Materials Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Previously impregnated and stored carbon fibres i.e. prepregs are a breakthrough in the composites industries. Prepregs are extremely convenient for industrial growth. Until now epoxy-based CFRP has been the focus of the industries. This report discusses a new conductive yet inexpensive resin which can be utilized in the form of prepregs owing to its long-term stability. The major prepreg enabling properties like thermal stability, rheological properties and storage effect are studied in detail. Finally, the preliminary results of the mechanical and electrical properties of the CFRP are also encompassed in this report.
