    摘要: An epoxy resin composition is provided which includes a poly-naphthalene-based epoxy resin having two or more epoxy groups per molecule combined with a non-linear multi-phenyl epoxy resin and an additional epoxy resin having an epoxy functionality of 3 or more, as well as a prepreg, and a fiber-reinforced composite material prepared using the epoxy resin composition. More specifically, an epoxy resin composition is provided which contains a combination of particular types of epoxy resins and curatives that, when cured, provides high flexural modulus and that is suitable for preparing a fiber-reinforced composite material capable of withstanding extreme use environments such as low-temperature environments and high-temperature moisture-absorbing environments. In addition, epoxy resin systems are provided which are capable of achieving a high Tg along with good thermal stability for long periods of time at elevated temperatures (e.g., 180° C. or more) when cured at 210° C. for 2 hours.

    摘要: This invention relates to an epoxy resin composition for fiber-reinforced composite materials, which contains the following constituent components (A), (B), and (C). Component (A) contains at least one poly-naphthalene-based epoxy resin, component (B) contains at least one alicyclic epoxy resin and/or a divinylarene diepoxide resin, and component (C) contains at least one amine curing agent. This epoxy resin composition, containing a specific combination of particular types of epoxy resin and curatives, provides high heat resistance and high flexural modulus under extreme environmental conditions. More particularly, a cured resin prepared by the epoxy resin composition offers well balanced mechanical properties that are suitable for preparing fiber-reinforced composite materials useful in aircraft components, spacecraft components, automobile components, artificial satellites components, industrial components, and the like.

    摘要: The embodiments herein relate to an epoxy resin composition containing a specific type of amine-based epoxy resin containing four epoxy groups per molecule, a prepreg, and a fiber-reinforced composite material. More specifically, the embodiments herein relate to an epoxy resin composition containing a combination of particular types of epoxy resin and curatives that provides high flexural modulus that is suitable for preparing a fiber-reinforced composite material capable of withstanding extreme use environments such as low-temperature environments and high-temperature moisture-absorbing environments. In addition, the embodiments herein relate to epoxy resin systems capable of achieving a high degree of cure (e.g., 85% or more) within a relatively short period of time (e.g., less than two hours) at a relatively low temperature (e.g., 132° C.).
