Cyclic Olefin Copolymer Interleaves for Thermally Mendable Carbon/Epoxy Laminates

Cyclic Olefin Copolymer Interleaves for Thermally Mendable Carbon/Epoxy Laminates

Thin cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) foils were used as intrinsic thermoplastic healing agents in carbon fiber (CF)-reinforced epoxy laminates. COC films were produced by hot pressing and were interleaved in the interlaminar regions between each EP/CF lamina, during the hand layup fabrication of the l...
