Snowboard
Robot arm for carrying semiconductor wafers
- Q.Is composite material performance determined by the fiber alone?
- A.A composite material consists of fiber and matrix resin. Therefore, just because the fiber is good does not mean that the composite will be good.
ENEOS has wide variety of prepregs that utilize resins developed by us and provide low-temperature cure, high heat resistance, and low outgas.
