High-Temperature, Low-Melt Resins for Liquid Molding Among NASA’s Hot 100 Technologies
December 18, 2014
Injection Molding
High-temperature, low-melt imide resins developed for fabrication of automotive components are produced by a solvent-free melt process. They exhibit high glass transition temperatures, low melt viscosities, long pot-life, and can be easily processed by low-cost RTM and vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding. Applications include injection molding of parts, high-temperature engine components, and composite ducts and tubes.
