Abstract
Carbon fibre-reinforced composites of conventional diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) and liquid diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-C (DGEBC ) were prepared, using 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) or 4,4'-diami nodiphenylsulfone (DDS) curing agent and evaluated for their physical properties (density, void content) and mechanical properties (flexural strength and interlaminar shear strength). Thick films of the neat re sin were also prepared and their flexural strength has been studied. I t is observed that DGEBC-curing agent system shows improved properties compared to DGEBA-curing agent system.
