Thermosetting Resin Matrix Precursors

  • Chapter
Carbon-Carbon Composites

Abstract

Thermosetting resins are used as matrix precursors in carbon-carbon composites because they are relatively easy to use to impregnate fibres, and a large technology base exists from their use in ‘conventional’ composites processing. The resin impregnation/carbonization route is extremely flexible. Large structures, often with complex geometries, can be manufactured using all of the methods proven in the composites field, e.g. filament winding, prepreg, hand lay-up or pultrusion. In general, thermosetting resins polymerize at low temperatures (<250 °C) to form a highly three-dimensionally cross-linked non-softening amorphous solid. When pyrolysed, the resins form a glassy, isotropic carbon [1] which does not graphitize at temperatures up to 3000 °C.
