Fiber-reinforced 2D composites obtained by photopolymerization processes using the new developed two component initiating systems.

Fiber-reinforced 2D composites obtained by photopolymerization processes using the new developed two component initiating systems.

Within the framework of the presented invention, there has been developed a photochemical technology for producing polymer matrix composites, which can be counted among the materials with the highest strength-to-weight ratio. The developed technology is characterized by an innovative two-component photoinitiating system, which guarantees the possibility of the process occurring in the entire volume of the composite and effective crosslinking of polymeric material based on epoxy resins. As a result of applying the new photoinitiating system, it was possible to obtain glass fibre reinforced plastics (GRP), and carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CRP) composites using LED light sources in the visible range. The developed materials show very high elasticity and extensibility, and thanks to these features, they can be an indispensable material used in various sectors of the economy - especially those characterized by high technological advancement. Because in the field of polymer composites, there is still a significant potential to improve the production of composites and improve the efficiency of their production, the search for new solutions such as photochemical production of these materials is completely justified from the economic point of view. The use of light as an initiating factor in forming a composite material should translate into an increase in quality combined with a lower price should translate into a growing attractiveness of the initiation systems developed by us as semi-finished products for the production of composite materials.
