Abstract Scope |
Epoxy thermosets are important structural components for high-performance carbon fiber composites. Structural changes of the epoxy polymer network from incorporated defects or imparted by thermal or mechanical stressors can cause unexpected changes in the composite performance. In this work, X-ray scattering techniques are used to investigate the polymer network structure of epoxy thermosets and investigate the resulting changes in this structure from incorporation of defects and exposure to different stressors. |
