Abstract
Abstract What is disclosed is a method of preparing fiber reinforced glass composites from high modulus fibers and organopolysiloxane resins. The composites are obtained by firing a partially cured, pressed, and post-cured prepreg to an elevated temperature in an inert atmosphere. A simple, low temperature laminating procedure is used in the composite preparation in place of the standard hot pressing technique.
