Characterization of Thermoplastic Polyamide Composite Matrix Material

Although thermoplastic matrix composites are being proposed as a second generation of composite material for a number of advanced and high performance applications, little has been reported concerning the processing-structure-property relationships for either the newly developed matrix resins or their combination in the composite. The research described here involves such a study for a representative matrix resin, the J1-polymer (a polyamide) proposed by DuPont. The research was conducted in parallel with related studies, primarily by other personnel, of graphite fiber/J1-polymer unidirectional composites.
