Abstract
Abstract Unidirectional, bidirectional, and fabric laminates were made of one type of X-500 fiber and fabric using, mainly, an epoxy-based matrix and other thermosetting and thermoplastic resins. This particular X-500 fiber (PABH-T), a polyamide-hydrazide, was found to be compatible with most of the resins tried, both with respect to inertness to the fiber and with respect to adhesion. Unidirectional composite properties, including longitudinal tensile modulus and strength, transverse modulus and strength, and shear modulus and strength, were measured. From the measured transverse and shear unidirectional laminate moduli, the transverse modulus and shear modulus of the PABH-T X-500 fibers were measured. To reduce the amount of sample preparation and testing, and to make comparisons of PABH-T X-500 composite stiffness properties to glass fiber and other composites, computational procedures for estimating the stiffness properties of various laminates were worked out so that the comparisons could be made on ...
