The low velocity non-penetrating impact resistance of IM7/5260 graphite bismaleimide laminates has been determined in terms of post impact compression strength. This property along with indentation depths and impact-damaged areas has been compared with corresponding ones of AS4/3501-6 graphite epoxy and IM6/CYCOM3100 graphite bismaleimide laminates. The IM7/5260 laminates have been found to have low velocity non-penetrating impact resistance superior to the other two thermosetting laminates.
