Wet-filament winding fabrication of thick carbon fiber/polycyanate resin composite
Polycyanate resins offer advantages as composite matrices because of their high thermal stability, low outgassing, low water absorption and radiation resistance. This report describes the fabrication of a thick (nominal 1 in.) hoop-wound composite cylinder that is manufactured by the wet-filament winding method using Toray T1000G carbon fiber and YLA RS-14 polycyanate resin as the constituent materials. An analytical model used to evaluate the fabrication process, estimate composite residual stresses and provide input toward mandrel design is presented and the construction of the mandrel used to wet-wind the cylinder is described. The composite cylinder quality is evaluated by dimensional inspection and measurements of density and composition.
