Abstract: WebCore proposes to explore the incorporation of newer, tougher resins and nano-fibers into fiber reinforced composites (FRC) in order to provide highly durable, abrasion-resistant materials. WebCore's FRC, TYCOR, is a lightweight, high performance structural material that can be tailored to exacting requirements and complex shapes. Through the use of patented preforming processes and novel infusion processes, WebCore has the unique ability to incorporate normally difficult-to-use resins into TYCOR panels to improve impact properties and damage tolerance.
