Abstract
Hand laminated glass reinforced phenolic laminates were made using commercially available phenolic resins and woven rovings. Their mechanical and structural properties were established in terms of interlaminar shear strength, flexural and tesile properties. Fibre–matrix adhesion and wetting characteristics were studied by scanning electron microscopy. The results have shown that a reasonable degree of reproducibility can be achieved in phenolic laminates by hand lay-up techniques. It is also shown that the finishes on commercially available glass woven rovings have poor compatibility with phenolic hand laminating resins as indicated by the resulting mechanical and structural strengths.
