Effect of Composition Variation on Isothermal Rapid Curing Resins for Aerospace Applications

To meet the projected demand for single-aisle composite aircraft in 2040, the production rate of these aircraft will need to increase by four to six times what is currently achievable. A composite manufacturing process with the potential to enable the targeted rates is isothermal resin infusion where infusion and cure occur at the same temperature. However, presently there is not an accepted aerospace-grade resin that can support this isothermal infusion process and maintain acceptable resin properties. Therefore, resin development initiatives have designed anionic catalyzed epoxy systems capable of isothermal infusion and rapid cure at a temperature below 100 ˚C in one hour. High-performance aerospace properties are achieved after undergoing a freestanding post-cure. The resins facilitate faster, energy efficient production cycles by reducing the time and temperature required for cure and eliminating temperature ramps typically required of materials used in the aerospace industry. This work discusses several of the developed resin systems and the impact of varying composition on rheological, thermal, and mechanical properties. Carbon fiber composites were fabricated for one composition by resin transfer molding to demonstrate the potential of these isothermal, rapid cure systems for meeting industry needs.
