Thermal and mechanical properties of several composites of S-2 glass fiber in a room-temperature-curable epoxy matrix were increased. The filament-wound composites ranged from 50 to 70 vol% fiber. The composites had generally good to excellent mechanical properties, particularly in view of the moderate cost of the material. However, the composites showed rapid increases in transverse thermal expansion above 50/sup 0/C, and this property must be carefully considered if any use above that temperature is contemplated.
