  • CARBON FIBER REINFORCED MOLDING COMPOSITION SUITABLE FOR ELECTROPHORETIC COATING
    Publication number: 20220306857
    Abstract: A cured article includes a cured thermoset resin matrix defining an article surface. Hollow glass microspheroids are dispersed in the cured thermoset resin matrix. A low profile additive package is dispersed in the cured thermoset resin matrix. A plurality of carbon fiber bundles are present and wet by the cured thermoset resin matrix. The matrix formed from a prepolymer and styrenic monomer. A free radical initiator is provided to cure the thermoset resin matrix and having limited decomposition products with a boiling point of between 160-210° C.; wherein the article emits less than 250 parts per million (ppm) of volatiles as measured after heating to 185° C. at a rate of 14° C./min and held for 1 minute.
