Abstract
A wide range of resin chemical types, fibres and processing techniques are used in the multitude of products manufactured under the general description of fibre composites. This paper considers those resins currently suitable for making the highest strength laminate and sandwich composite structures for applications up to a maximum temperature resistance of 130 °C. This represents some 85% of the total market and hence is easily the most important sector. The resins are mostly used with the fibres in a preimpregnated form (prepreg).
