Phenolic resins as a matrix material in advanced fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites

摘要: Abstract: Thermosets such as phenolic thermosets are brittle at room temperature. Thus, in applications where good mechanical properties required must be combined with reinforcements to improve these properties. Composites based on thermoset matrices can substitute for steel and concrete some of civil construction structures because their higher resistance oxidation than better freeze–thaw concrete. Furthermore, composites produced complex shapes, careful design, materials obtained high strength stiffness excellent impact strength, making alternatives metals. Construction require fire- high-temperature-resistant components, moldings laminates phenolics utilized due burning minimal smoke toxic fumes production. Phenolic positively the building industry by improving safety reducing cost.
