Abstract
A fiber/resin composite whose resin phase is formed by at least initial actinic radiation curing of a resin composition comprising an actinic radiation curable first resin component and a second resin component which is non-cured under curing conditions effective for the first resin component. The actinic radiation exposure of the fiber/resin composition effects curing of the first resin component to immobilize the composite and impart structural integrity thereto, whereby the composite may be handled, packaged, or further processed. Filament wound, braided, and pultruded articles are described, together with associated methods for forming such articles by filament winding, braiding and pultrusion. As a specific embodiment, a solid fuel rocket motor is disclosed comprising a solid fuel body in a filament wound fiber-resin composite casing formed by filament winding of the solid fuel body with resin-impregnated filament or rovings thereof.
