Environmental effects on the interlaminar shear strength of aramid-epoxy composites

The effect of immersion in gasoline and motor oil on the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of unidirectional (0 deg ) aramid--epoxy composites is studied. The composites used were fabricated by the pre-preg route and were made with a standard epoxy resin, cured with an aromatic polyamine and reinfo...

Summary:The effect of immersion in gasoline and motor oil on the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of unidirectional (0 deg ) aramid--epoxy composites is studied. The composites used were fabricated by the pre-preg route and were made with a standard epoxy resin, cured with an aromatic polyamine and reinforced with Kevlar-49 aramid fibres. It was found that the ability of a molecule to go into the polymer and consequently to degrade its mechanical properties is inversely proportional to its size and/or atomic weight. 8 ref.--A.R.
