BMI and benzoxazine battle for future OOA aerocomposites

Although autoclave cure isn’t going away, designers of composite aerostructures continue to beat the drum for matrix resins that can be processed out of the autoclave (OOA) by a number of means. Yet they’re also searching for superior resin performance, particularly in terms of damage tolerance. This quest has put the spotlight on bismaleimide (BMI) and benzoxazine resin systems. Each offers an attractive alternative to established epoxies.
