Bisphthalonitrile-based Thermosets as Heat-resistant Matrices for Fiber Reinforced Plastics

摘要

This review focuses on the processes involved in producing heat-resistant matrices for fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) by polymerization of the resins consisting of phthalonitrile monomers and comonomers, and the specifics of fiber reinforced plastics fabrication technologies. Polymerization behaviors observed in the presence of various types of initiators and in different temperature modes are reviewed. Fabrication methods and mechanical properties of FRPs based on phthalonitrile resins with various reinforcing materials are discussed. Properties of glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) and carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) obtained through curing of different phthalonitriles are compared.
