Objective
* The objective of this proposal is to develop a class of composite * The objective of this proposal is to develop a class of composite * The objective of this proposal is to develop a class of composite materials, based on novel cyanate chemistry, which will fulfil a diverse range of industrial needs, including:
* Tailway carriage outside skin and structural frame composite parts, to be produced with cost effective RTM technology, which fulfill FST(Fire Smoke. Toxicity) properties together with improved mechanical performance and weight reductions competingwith modern AL designs.
* tubular composite structures for satelites with a greatly reduced moisture absorptioncompared to existing materials,
* adhesive for long term high temperature service ( 150 C, 60 000 h) in new generation civil supersonic aircraft (SST)
* special passivation layers of electronic devices which retain toughness and flexibilityafter short term exposure to high temperatures.
Whilst meeting the needs of several industrial sectors with different cost and perforrnance targets these materials will be developed from a single generic class of materials with potentially outstanding properties. This will allow a centralised development effort to tailor chemical and mechanical properties as demanded by end users and manufacturers.
This material developments will be performed by a partnership consisting of four end users, a material supplier and two research groups specialised in cyanate chemistry and in mechanical properties of structural polymeric materials.
The reinforcements of the composite materials are both glass and carbon fibers Cyanate material development is supported by the investigation of structure property relationships for polycyanurates and their chemical modifications. Furthermore the influence of the physical microstructure of composites and adhesives and of the anorganic/organic interphase structure on mechanical properties will be investigated. The long term high temperature and hot/wet stability of such materials is investigated and studying the influence of curing schedules on materials properties will help to optimise process curing schedules.
The use of the developed materials will be shown by the manufacture of demonstrator parts for the respective application
