Abstract:

The Reinforced Plastics Group of the Plastics Institute sponsored a two-day conference on New and Improved Resin Systems in London on 18-19 September, 1973. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss recent developments in resins and resin technology and how these are being and might be applied in practice. Among the resins discussed were fluorinated epoxies, vinyl esters, furanes, polyimides, Friedel-Crafts resins, rubber reinforced resins, and fire retardant resins. In addition, developments in silane coupling agents were discussed, and one paper was presented on studies of the effect of water on carbon fiber-rpocy composites. This report reviews some of the papers given. Author
