Abstract

A composite structure is made by first furnishing a skin layer made of a composite material of quartz fibers embedded in an uncured cyanate ester-resin matrix. A transition layer of a first epoxy resin is applied to the skin layer. The skin structure including the skin layer and transition layer is cured at a first temperature and post cured at a second temperature greater than the first temperature. A bonding layer of a second epoxy resin is thereafter applied to the bonding surface of the transition layer, and a substrate is contacted to the exposed face of the bonding layer. The second epoxy resin is cured at a third temperature no greater than the first temperature.
