Abstract:The thermal stability of a hybrid composite rod, made of epoxy-anhydride matrix reinforced with both unidirectional carbon and glass fibers, has been evaluated between 180 and 210 °C in different nitrogen/oxygen gas mixtures with several conventional but complementary laboratory techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, thermogravimetry, differential calorimetry, optical microscopy, and three-point bending. Thermolysis predominates in the carbon-fiber core, where it induces an efficient chain… Show more
“…Thus, as linear polyesters [35] , epoxy-anhydride networks [36] and aliphatic polyamides [37] , EPO-DA networks will be subjected to a much more severe oxidation than PE [22 , 31 , 32] .…”
