Abstract

Electron beam curing of polymer matrix composites is a nonthermal, nonautoclave curing process that has been demonstrated to be cost effective and an advantageous alternative to conventional thermal curing. Advantages of electron beam curing include: reduced manufacturing costs; significantly reduced curing times; improvements in part quality and performance; reduced environmental and health concerns; and improvement in material handling. Electron beam resin 8H exhibited a glass transition temperature of 396 °C after electron beam cure at room temperature. Electron beam resin 8H/Im7 laminates exhibit good mechanical properties at 25 °C. Weight loss for the laminates is 4.25 and 18.4% after 1000 hours in air at 232 °C and 288 °C, respectively.
