✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The overall objective of this research was to correlate the processing—fiber arrangement—properties relationships of composites. In order to do this, an experimental technique to quantitatively characterize the fiber arrangement was developed. Using this technique, the compression molded graphite/epoxy composites, CMC, were found to have a standard deviation of fiber spacing of about twice the value of those from the simulated random composites, SRC. The standard deviation of fiber volume fraction for CMC was about 4 times the value of SRC. In other words, the fibers in this laboratory CMC were poorly distributed relative to SRC.

## Abstract Recently, there has been concern over the effects of accidentally released conductive carbon and graphite fibers on unprotected electrical circuits. Because of their thermal stability, such fibers could be released by the involvement of a resin matrix composite in a fire. A simple metho
