The present disclosure provides a composition for preparing a lightweight transparent composite, a method of preparing a composite using the same, and a composite prepared by the method. The lightweight transparent composite having excellent impact resistance, scratch resistance, weather resistance, and high hardness can be prepared by thermally curing a mixture of a glass fiber reinforcement having a refractive index of 1.4 to 1.6 and a curable resin having a deviation in refractive index of 0.005 to +0.005 from the glass fiber reinforcement. When the lightweight transparent composite is applied to transparent windows for automobiles, the lightweight transparent composite can be useful in enhancing fuel efficiency, achieving easier handling characteristics due to reduction in vehicle center of gravity, and improving juddering and dimensional stability even during car driving due to excellent hardness.

Hybrid spray foams utilize a urethane reactant, a crosslinker, and an (optional) epoxy and/or acrylic resin along with a blowing agent and rheology modifier to produce a quick-setting foam that remains in place until the foam forms and cures. The urethane reactant may be formed as an adduct with or without the use of isocyanate chemistry. In some embodiments, the polyurethane oligomer is made by reacting cyclocarbonates and di- or polyamines, while in other embodiments the polyurethane backbone employs the use of commercially available capped or blocked urethane oligomers made by any method. The oligomers contain reactive groups, typically at the oligomer ends, that crosslink with crosslinkers or with acrylic or epoxy resins to form hybrid polyurethane foams. Foams may also contain a plasticizer, and/or a surfactant as well as other optional additives. Methods of making such foams are also provided.
