Quasi-static and dynamic tensile properties of fiberglass/epoxy laminate sheet

TL;DR: In this paper, unidirectional quasi-static and dynamic tensile tests on fiberglass/epoxy laminate were carried out to investigate its dynamic material properties, and empirical formulae were derived to predict the dynamic enhancement of tensile material properties as a function of strain rates.

Structure-property relationships of controlled epoxy networks with quantified levels of excess epoxy etherification

TL;DR: In this paper, the preparation of controlled epoxy thermosets containing varying amounts of excess epoxy resin having essentially complete epoxy conversion was described, and the extent of conversion was determined using a solid-state 13 C NMR method with enhanced resolution due to solvent swelling of the thermoset.
