  • Publication number: 20240084069
    Abstract: A resin matrix composition is provided in the present invention. The resin matrix composition includes an epoxy resin, a polysulfone engineering plastic, a modified polyetherimide and an amine curing agent. The modified polyetherimide is formed from a nucleophilic compound and polyetherimide. The nucleophilic compound has a nucleophile such as hydroxyl group, sulfhydryl group, carboxyl group and/or amine group. Therefore, a resin matrix with two phase separation of island phase and co-continuous phase is formed. The resin matrix can have both great flexural strength and toughness. Moreover, the resin matrix has suitable viscosity, such that it is appropriate for impregnating carbon fiber to produce prepreg and carbon fiber composites.
