Abstract
The effect of glass fiber reinforcements on the curing behavior of uns aturated polyester commercial resins was investigated by Fourier trans form infrared spectroscopy. Two different E-glass fibers and two comme rcial resins were employed. The results indicate that both the glass f iber content and the fiber size have a pronounced effect on the ultima te values of the styrene conversion. Some complications found in the i nfrared analysis of commercial resins are also presented.
