Hard tissue

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As hard tissue is referred to a standard for about 70 years Fiber-reinforced plastic , textile in which several layers of linen or - cotton fabric with the thermoset phenolic resin are bonded. In its earliest form, it is known under the trade name Bakelite .

Despite its age, it is still used in many special technical applications, including a .: in engine construction, in electrical engineering and generally as a machine part, for example as a gear .

The special properties of hard fabric include that it is hard, abrasion-resistant and thermally resistant. In addition, it is electrically insulating and has a high level of vibration and sound absorption.

The material is related to hard paper , in which cellulose fibers are used as filler instead. However, it has a higher strength and generally a lower water absorption than the one because, among other things, the (cotton) fibers used are easier to impregnate.

The body parts of the Trabant car are made of phenolic resin and loose cotton fibers .

Phenolic resin - fiber composites are also used as heat shield used because they form a protective layer of coke in extreme thermal stress.

As a successor, materials based on epoxy resin , including fiberglass fabrics, are used.
