Keywords: liquid crystal thermoset composite resins

In support of NASA’s Next Generation Launch Technology (NGLT) we have developed a liquid crystal thermoset resin, which can be used as a matrix resin for carbon reinforced cryogenic fuel tanks. This resin is suitable for pultrusion, RTM and RFI composite processing and exhibits outstanding barrier properties, high thermal stability and excellent adhesive properties.
