Unsaturated Polyester Urethane Hybrid Technology - Fast Track to Advanced Composites

摘要

Over the last 20 years the automotive and aviation industries have shown increasing interest in advanced composites as a light weight construction material. However, the production speed of current advanced composites is seen as bottleneck for the exponential use of advanced composites in these key industries. Unsaturated polyester urethane hybrid technology has the potential to overcome this drawback. That's because hybrid technology results in advanced composites with properties equal to epoxy based materials but with much faster production speed and the capability to use cheaper production methods. In this paper unsaturated polyester urethane hybrid technology, its properties in advanced composites and faster production capabilities are explained in more details.
