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...
