Processing and property assessment of glass fiber reinforced p-DCPD composite

Abstract

Since the development of DCPD, greatest interests lied upon researches specifically related to civil and military applications where this investigation were conducted based upon the two growing aspects. This paper contains an increase of the mechanical properties of the glass fiber reinforced p-DCPD composites by using the stress-strain relation. Furthermore, the equipment that was designed to supplement high curing speed of the p-DCPD and the difficulty of dispersion was implemented for this investigation. The specimen production process investigates the curing behavior by using the DSC results and by analyzing the internal flow of the mold. As a result, it was possible to obtain a quality specimen that had better mechanical properties while reducing the difficulty of the process.
