  • Curable resin sols and fiber-reinforced composites derived therefrom
    Patent number: 5648407
    Abstract: Compositions comprise (a) a curable resin sol comprising a colloidal dispersion of substantially spherical, substantially inorganic microparticles (e.g., surface-modified silica) in curable resin (e.g., epoxy resin); and (b) reinforcing fibers (e.g., carbon fibers). The compositions can be cured to provide fiber-reinforced composites which exhibit improved resin-dominated mechanical properties.
