    Abstract

    Structural (SRIM) composites, comprising up to 40% by volume of random continuous glass fibres in a specially developed copoly(urea/isocyanurate) (PUrI) matrix, have been formed via reaction injection moulding (RIM). The two stage polymerisation process of the PUrI matrix provided low initial viscosity during mould filling followed by a 'snap cure' to give tough composite materials in
