Abstract
A new approach for the design and operation of prepreg machinery is presented and its application to the production of E-glass/phenolic resin prepregs is described. The approach involves successive decreases in the pressure of squeezing rollers in the soaking zone and successive increases in the temperature of the drying zone. It was developed by conducting experiments into resin content, solvent content, extent of impregnation and tack and drape properties of prepregs prepared under different processing conditions. 26 refs.
