Article: Microstructure and stiffness analysis of a new ternary melamine-formaldehyde composite.

INTRODUCTION

Planar random fiber composites (PRFC) are materials with a range of desirable properties. For example, their suitability for high volume production of geometrically complex parts makes them an attractive engineering material. These materials, however, are complex and they require a continuous research and development effort toward applications.

Recently, a new type of planar random discontinuous fiber composite has been developed. The material is called Reinforced Melamine Compound (RMC) and is a random glass fiber-reinforced and particulate-filled ternary composite with a melamine-formaldehyde matrix. The first commercial grade manufactured from ...
