Solche Prepregs werden durch Tränken von Verstärkungsfasern mit 10 duromeren Kunststoffen hergestellt. Aus diesen Prepregs werden vorzugsweise Composite-Teile für den Flugzeug- und Maschinenbau sowie für die Sportartikelhersteflung gefertigt.An diese Compo¬ site-Teile werden nun eine Reihe von Anforderungen wie hohe dyna¬ mische mechanische Eigenschaften sowie hohe Temperatur- und Che- 15 ikalienbeständigkeit gestellt. Es ist bekannt, für derartige Composite-Teile Prepregs zu verwenden, deren Verstärkungsfasern mit hochfunktionellen Epoxydharzen imprägniert sind, wodurch wohl die gewünschte Temperatur- und Chemikalienbeständigkeit nicht aber die geforderten dynamisch mechanischen Eigenschaften wie 20 ausreichende Zähigkeit die gefertigen Composite-Teile erreicht werden.Such prepregs are produced by impregnating reinforcing fibers with 10 thermosetting plastics. These prepregs are preferably used to manufacture composite parts for aircraft and mechanical engineering and for the manufacture of sports articles. These composite parts are now subject to a number of requirements, such as high dynamic mechanical properties and high temperature and chemical resistance . It is known to use prepregs for such composite parts, the reinforcing fibers of which are impregnated with highly functional epoxy resins, whereby the desired temperature and chemical resistance may not be achieved, but the required dynamic mechanical properties such as sufficient toughness can be achieved in the finished composite parts.
Ferner ist es bekannt, für die Imprägnierung Epoxydharzmischun¬ gen, denen ein stickstoffh ltiger Härter zugesetzt wird, einzu¬ setzen, was zwar die geforderte Zähigkeit, nicht aber die ausrei- 25 chende Chemikalien- und Temperaturbeständigkeit der gefertigten Composite-Teile mit sich bringt.Furthermore, it is known to use epoxy resin mixtures, to which a nitrogen-containing hardener is added, for impregnation, which brings with it the required toughness but not the sufficient chemical and temperature resistance of the composite parts produced.
