Abstract

AbstractThermomechanical analysis was carried out for various phthalocyanine resins. The polymer based on the C‐10 diamide resin was then chosen for evaluation as a potential composite matrix material. Prepregs with Thornel 300 graphite reinforcements were successfully prepared using a hot‐melt technique. The processability of this material was studied by employing instrumental techniques including differential scanning calorimetry, thermal gravimetric analysis and dynamic dielectric analysis. A cure cycle was developed for the fabrication of angle‐ply laminate using the conventional vacuum‐bag technique in a hydraulic press. Laminate mechanical properties both in tension and in flexure were determined. The results for the C‐10/T‐300 samples were shown to be similar to those of an epoxy/graphite and a polyimide/graphite composite system.
