Patent ID: 7655278

Claim:
A method of forming a composite, comprising: impregnating a reinforcing structure with a curable composition at a temperature of about 10 to about 40°C., wherein the curable composition comprises about 30 to about 80 parts by weight of an epoxy resin, about 20 to about 60 parts by weight of a polyfunctional poly(arylene ether) having a polydispersity index less than or equal to 2.2 and an intrinsic viscosity of about 0.03 to about 0.2 deciliter per gram measured in chloroform at 25°C., about 2 to about 100 parts by weight of a solvent having an atmospheric boiling point of about 50 to about 250°C., and an amount of a curing promoter effective to cure the epoxy resin; wherein all parts by weight are based on 100 parts by weight total of the epoxy resin and the polyfunctional poly(arylene ether).
