Polyester resins: The basics - CompositesWorld
WEBFeb 2, 2020 · It is usual to refer to unsaturated polyester resins as “polyester resins,” or simply as “polyesters.”. There is a whole range of polyesters made from different acids, glycols and monomers, all having varying properties. There are two principle types of polyester resin used as standard laminating systems in the composites industry.
Composite submersibles: Under pressure in deep, deep waters
WEBMay 10, 2017 · Rush says Cyclops 3, 4 and 5 are already on the drawing board, will target depths of 6,000m and likely will feature carbon fiber composite hulls. Manned deepsea exploration calls for a highly engineered composites solution that saves weight and preserves life — at 6,500-psi service pressure.
Core materials: The basics - CompositesWorld
WEBFeb 20, 2020 · PVC foam is closed-cell and has very low moisture absorption. It is self-extinguishing and will not rot. Other inherent properties are excellent fatigue life and good bond strength with common adhesives and resins. PVC foams are available in a variety of densities from 3pcf to 25 pcf (45 kg/m 3 to 400 kg/m 3).
Pultrusion: The basics - CompositesWorld
WEBFeb 20, 2020 · Although pultrusion is a continuous process, producing a profile of constant cross-section, a variant known as “pulforming” allows for some variation to be introduced into the cross-section. The process pulls the materials through the die for impregnation, and then clamps them in a mold for curing. This makes the process non-continuous, but ...

The making of glass fiber - CompositesWorld
WEBJun 1, 2020 · Step 3: Fiberization. Molten glass exits the furnace at ≈1340°C/2444°F and is extruded through heated bushing plates (top image), which have 200 to 8,000 very small orifices, or nozzles. The winders (lower part of bottom image) apply tension to the extruded glass, drawing it out into thin filaments.
Composites Materials | CompositesWorld
WEB3 days ago · Composites Materials. Composite materials are engineered combinations of two or more distinct materials, merging their individual properties to create a new material with enhanced characteristics. Typically composed of a reinforcing phase (like fibers or particles) embedded within a matrix (often a polymer, metal, or ceramic), composites ...
