THE EFFECT OF THE STORAGE TIME OF THE MATRIX PRECURSOR ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF THE FIBER COMPOSITE

Š. Rýglová, Z. Sucharda, K. Balík

The aim of this paper was to study the effect of temperature and storage time of polysiloxane resins M130 and 901 used in the preparation of fiber composites on the resulting mechanical properties of the composites. Composites, prepared by pressing the glass fiber impregnated with polysiloxane stored for the period of up to one year, were studied. The results of mechanical tests showed that the applied storage of the studied polysiloxanes has no substantial effect on the mechanical properties of the composites.
