REFORMABLE RESIN FILAMENTS AND MATERIALS FORMED THEREWITH

摘要

The present teachings contemplate forming a reformable epoxy resin material into a monofilament having a denier of from about 50 to about 5000 and a glass transition temperature of less than about 200 °C; loading one or more monofilaments onto a spool; co-weaving the one or more monofilaments with a reinforcing fiber to form a woven material, the reinforcing fiber having a glass transition temperature of greater than 200 °C; heating the woven material to form a composite to a temperature so that only the one or more monofilaments soften but the reinforcing fiber does not.
