OSTI ID:6946183
The properties, preparation and processing, and automotive and aerospace applications of advanced polymer-matrix composites are discussed in reviews and reports. Topics addressed include high-performance composites research at NASA Langley, the thermooxidative stability of commercial graphite fibers for CFRPs, a semicrystalline polyimidesulfone powder, the dynamic mechanical properties of high-temperature PMR polyimides and composites, and transportation applications of reinforced thermoplastic composites. Consideration is given to NDE techniques for automotive plastics and composites, compression-molded metal-thermoplastic composite laminates, phenolic engine components, economic modeling of composite manufacturing, and process considerations for reaction injection molding of composites.
