Abstract
Fiber reinforced silicone matrix resin based composites are made more resistant to delamination by incorporating a suitably tough, lower modulus silicone resin, different from said matrix resin, between each fiber layer of the composite. Preferably, woven mats of glass or carbon fibers impregnated with a desired silicone matrix resin are coated with a precursor of the tougher interleaf silicone resin. The resulting laminate of alternating matrix resin-fiber layers and interleaved layers of the tougher silicone resin provides a tougher silicone based composite.
