resin further attribute of the technology. The exceptional properties of Calidur® could also make it ideal for railway and marine applications. xxxxxx polymethacrylimide (e.g. Rohacell® from Evonik Industries AG) and based on polyethersulfone (e.g. Divinycell F50 from DIAB Group) were used for qualitative peel tests. A cohesive failure of the foam was observed after peeling the prepreg off. This failure was equivalent to the above-mentioned SOA epoxy resin. Conclusions and outlook The intrinsic FST properties, adhesion properties to core materials and new processing conditions of Calidur® are attractive benefits for interior part production. Glass fibre laminates exhibited interesting compressive and shear behaviour. The excellent storage stability at 8°C is a 66 jec composites magazine / No96 April 2015 Further benefits of the resin system include: - No H2O development during curing - Low shrinkage during curing (< 0.1%) - Superior mechanical properties compared to fibre-reinforced phenolics - Superior surface quality compared to fibre-reinforced phenolics - One-component resin system - Tunable Tg range (135°C-195°C) - Thermoplastic behaviour below curing temperature - High thermo-oxidative stability and hot-wet stability of composites Future work will focus on the investigation of process/property relationships in order to optimize the system. n More information: www.composites.evonik.comhttp://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcomposites.evonik.com%2F&ei=DMsvVYjfJ8P6PN_xgKAO&usg=AFQjCNEmXUDSklbZX-eAWwF57ct1PR-aeA&sig2=Gk0duPb__rckKx-nIsLf3A&bvm=bv.91071109,d.ZWU&cad=rja http://www.jeccomposites.com/magazine-subscription/ http://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mccleananderson.com%2F&ei=7csvVYKJDoPIyAPbuICYDA&usg=AFQjCNHtOWNmWAAmoZDxC2MTYu4WmhgiFg&sig2=B3HuLbjDADc8BF2dEUWqLw&bvm=bv.91071109,d.bGQ
