Abstract
AbstractThe torsional braid analysis (TBA) equipment has been used as an automated torsion pendulum to characterize prepreg materials in the form of single ply strips (2‐1/2 × 1/8 in.). Compared to the use of coated glass braids, the main difference was a marked weakening of the gelation mechanical damping peak in isothermal runs. However, prepreg materials consisting of epoxy resins on glass, carbon or aramid fibers were successfully run isothermally to provide gelation and vitrification times as a function of temperature, or in constant heating rate scans to reveal the T < Tg and the Tg relaxations of the uncured resins, and at higher temperatures phenomena associated with gelation, vitrification and devitrification.
