Description:
Graphite, glass, and resin composite is very strong, stiff, and thermally stable. As mounting material for antennas, mirrors and lenses, composite minimizes structural distortion and misalignment. Rods of substance are made by pulling preimpregnated ribbon of glass and graphite through die. When materials are combined in proper proportion, graphite contracts, and glass and resin expand as temperature increases. Matrix for fiber may be polysulfane, epoxy, polyimide, or othe resin.
