Aramid fiber composites

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6463566
Aramid fiber is a new class of organic fiber that offers unusually high strength and modulus. Its potential as a reinforcement for fiber composites is summarized. Available data on the fiber structure, method of manufacturing, tensile properties of the fiber in the presence of the epoxy matrix, and unidirectional composite properties are reviewed. Typical applications of aramid fiber composites also are examined.
