Abstract: Addition of light stabilizers/UV absorbers can extend the life and hence, improve the appearance of the carbon/epoxy laminates. Selection of a light stabilizer/UV absorber largely depends upon the substrate to be protected, its envisioned functional life and its sensitivity to photodegradation.
Keywords: composites, epoxy, prepreg, UV, aging
