A TERPOLYMER COMPOSITE POSSESSING IMPROVED ABRASION RESISTANCE

Abstract:

A novel and UV/visible curable epoxy based terpolymer is
described which promises to significantly improve the combined
physical properties and chemical and abrasion resistance of
aerospace structures. The innovative nature of this new
terpolymer means that composites made from it will not only have
improved abrasion resistance, but will also retain the desirable
physical properties of state-of-the-art epoxy formulations.

The new technology described will be applicable to a wide variety
of epoxy resin applications in industry. This includes impact
resistant piping, tanks, and films and coatings of many kinds. As
such, there will be a large number of potential commercial
applications after development through Phases II and III.
