Study of the Curing of Basalt-fibre-reinforced Plastic Based on a Phenol–formaldehyde Binder
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examines the curing kinetics of phenol-formaldehyde binders in basalt fiber microplastics using mechanical spectrometry, finding that reducing the degree of curing to 0.5-0.6 in the forming channel with subsequent heating can increase pultrusion rates.
A study was made of the kinetics of curing of phenol–formaldehyde binders (PFBs) in microplastics based on basalt fibre by mechanical spectrometry and in basalt-fibre-reinforced plastics based on chopped fibre by rotation viscometry. The possibility was shown of increasing the pultrusion rate of rods by reducing the degree of curing of the PFB to 0.5–0.6 in the forming channel with subsequent heat treatment to increase the strength of basalt-fibre-reinforced plastic rods.
