Inhibition and Cathalysis as a Method to Improve the Mechanical Properties of a Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

The possibility of increasing the static flexural strength of polymer composite materials and reducing their anisotropy by vacuum autoclave curing, during which gelation across the whole thickness of prepregs is carried out in a narrow time range, is shown. This is achieved by introducing a preset concentration of catalysts into the less heated layers or inhibitors in the more heated ones of the prepreg.
