AN INVESTIGATION OF THE MELT, FLOW AND CURE BEHAVIOR OF PHENOLIC RESIN DURING PROCESSING OF CARBON BONDED CARBON FIBER INSULATION

摘要

CBCF insulation is made from chopped and carbonized rayon fibers bonded by carbonized phenolic resin. The melt, flow and cure behavior of the resin was investigated by several advanced techniques that provided insight into the current process and a promising pathway for making near term improvements.
