PRE-IMPREGNATED FIBRE-REINFORCED COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND MANUFACTURED ARTICLE OBTAINED BY FORMING AND COMPLETE CURING OF SAID PRE-IMPREGNATED FIBRE- REINFORCED COMPOSITE MATERIAL

摘要

The invention relates to a pre-impregnated fibre-reinforced composite material in laminar form, obtained impregnating a fibrous mass with a polymeric binder composition and intended to be subjected to successive forming and complete curing operations to produce a fibre-reinforced composite material. The polymeric binder composition comprises one or more resins chosen in the group consisting of siloxane resins and silsesquioxane resins, and can optionally comprise one or more organic resins. The polymeric binder composition appears as a liquid with viscosity between 55000 and 10000 mPas at temperatures between 50° C. and 70° C. The polymeric binder composition forms a polymeric binder matrix, not cross-linked or only partially cross-linked, that fills the interstices of the fibrous mass. The invention also relates to a method for making said pre-impregnated fibre-reinforced composite material in laminar form. The invention also relates to a manufactured article obtained by hot forming and complete curing of the aforesaid pre-impregnated fibre-reinforced composite material, as well as a method for making said manufactured article.
