Paper Laminates With High Mechanical Strength Developed
Paper laminates treated with phenolic resins have been used mainly for electrical insulation panels and nonstructural uses. Researchers pursued resin-focused development and within six months created a paper base laminate with over double the old mechanical values. Before the war tensile strength rarely exceeded 14,000 psi, but parallel-laminated paper now reaches 35,000 to 50,000 psi.
