Abstract:
In an embodiment, a fiber reinforced composite can comprise a dynamically crosslinked polymer network comprising a polyester matrix and a plurality of crosslinks; a transesterification catalyst; and a fabric layer. A method of making the composite can comprise coating the fabric layer with a composition comprising a pre-crosslinked polymer composition to form a coated fabric; and melt impregnating the coated fabric with the pre-crosslinked polymer composition to form a pre-impregnated composite; and curing the pre-crosslinked polymer composition to form the dynamically crosslinked polymer network.
