All the works I have found are done with Ciba's resins (SL 5170).
Researchers at IKP Stuttgart (Germany) use DuPont resins (Somos 6100).
My question is: are the two resins so different? Are there some results
about influence of process parameters on isotropicity?
I think that both Ciba and DuPont make good products, so I won't expect
that DuPont is worse than Ciba.
Another question: how can you say that the material is isotropic? I used
specimens with different layer orientation; Poisson and Young modulus
are quite similar in different specimens with the same layer
orientation, and quite different in specimens with different layer
orientation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Bye to all
