Abstract

Bismaleimide resin systems containing low viscosity epoxy resins and a swellable or soluble thermoplastic when utilized to impregnate intermediate modulus carbon fiber are capable of preparing quasiisotropic composites, which, when cured, exhibit compression strengths after impact of greater than 47-50 ksi after an impact of 1500 in-lb/in.
