Definitions
- the present invention relates to epoxy resin matrix formulations used to prepare prepregs and composites having improved mechanical properties.
- Composites comprising high strength filaments in a resin matrix are well known materials.
- the high specific strength and stiffness of carbon fiber-epoxy composites makes them suitable for use in weight-sensitive structural applications such as for aircraft components.
- these composites have demonstrated excellent tensile strength and modulus, but compression strengths have been a limiting factor in structure design, particularly under hot-wet conditions.
- the trend in recent years toward increasing the damage tolerance of composites has at times come at the expense of hot-wet compression or open hole compression (OHC) strength.
- One goal in the development of new composite materials is to achieve a balance of properties: excellent toughness and tensile properties combined with excellent hot-wet compression and notched compression strength.
- One way to improve the compression strength of a carbon fiber composite is to improve the modulus of the matrix material. Under a compressive load, the fiber will tend to buckle, and the buckling load will be increased if the matrix material surrounding the fiber is stiffer.
- a reference which discusses this concept is "The Effect of Matrix Modulus on Lamina Compression Strength" by Gene B. Portelli, et al, Int. SAMPE Symp. Exhib. 1992, 37, 783-95.
- the increase in stiffness of the matrix should not come at the expense of resin toughness or strain to failure.
