Abstract
A fuel pipe for an aircraft having a wall made of a material including a matrix composed of an epoxy copolymer obtained through the reaction of a resin of the bisphenol A diglycidyl ether type with an amine hardener, and from 3 to 5% of an organically modified nanoclay by weight of the epoxy copolymer, the nanoclay including layered magnesium aluminum silicate platelets, and reinforcing fibers embedded in the matrix. In one example, the resin is a bisphenol A epichlorohydrin based resin, a phenol, 4,40-(1-methylethylidene) bis-polymer with (chloromethyl) oxirane; the nanoclay is provided in a 4% weight proportion to the epoxy copolymer, and is a montmorillonite; the amine hardener is an amidoamine.
