The invention relates to a method for the application of heating mats (10) on a wing/blade of a wind power station or other devices for the purpose of achieving deicing also during operation when necessary. Temperature measurement and de-icing take place by means of pulsed current to the heating mat (10). The invention also relates to an arrangement.

A resin composition and method for installing a pipe liner that allows the liner to be fully wet out with a resin and activator and stored for a period of up to six months prior to installation and curing. A method of lining a pipe with a delayed curing resin composition is also provided that includes fully wetting out a liner with a blended two part epoxy composition such that the liner can be transported in a wet out fashion, placed in a pipe to be lined and repositioned as needed without concern for the resin composition to begin curing.

Provided is a composite material capable of measuring bending deformation, the composite material including: a first conductive composite body that is bendable; a dielectric body that is bendable and compressible; and a second conductive composite body that is bendable, wherein the first conductive composite body and the second conductive composite body are respectively stacked on both surfaces of the dielectric body, and heights of the first conductive composite body and the second conductive composite body from the dielectric body are different from each other.

An FRP molded product formed by impregnating a fiber base material with a matrix resin using a flow medium, wherein the flow medium has a sheet shape and comprises fibers made of a phenoxy resin, the matrix resin is an epoxy resin, the fiber base material and the flow medium are stacked, at least part of the flow medium is hardened in a state where the part of the flow medium is integrated with the matrix resin by dissolution or adhesion, and the hardened flow medium becomes a design face.

A filament article containing a curable composition is provided. The filament article has a first part containing an epoxy resin and a second part containing a polyamine having at least two secondary or primary amino groups. The first part is surrounded by a sheath and a second part surrounded by a sheath. Either 1) the first part surrounded by the sheath and the second part surrounded by the sheath are each a separate filament or 2) the first part surrounded by the sheath and the second part surrounded by the sheath combine to form a composite filament. The curable filament article can be used to form a cured composition having structural bonding performance.

This disclosure describes a reinforced thermosetting resin piping system that is protected from external impact and UV damage by an outer polyurea-based layer. The embodiments described herein can be favorably used for underground and aboveground applications. In some implementations, an RTR pipe includes a core layer that includes a resin and fibers, an outer layer that includes a polyurea-based layer, and an interface layer between the core layer and the outer layer. The methods described herein also outline the process of producing the pipe structure.

A method is provided, comprising: forming a porous body from an additive manufacturing powder and binder mixture, the porous body including opposing surface portions comprising top and bottom surface portions; placing the porous body on a vacuum table, wherein the vacuum table causes a negative air pressure within the porous body; and applying a tooling gel coat to the top surface portion, wherein the tooling gel coat is drawn into the porous body by the negative air pressure. In another aspect, a RTM tool is provided, comprising: a cavity and a core; wherein the cavity and the define a hollow; wherein the cavity and the core are formed as a porous body, wherein the cavity and core include a forming surface, wherein the cavity and core are each placed upon a vacuum table after which a tooling gel coat is applied to the forming surface.

A method of repairing a through-hole formed in a structure having at least one composite material includes filling at least a portion of the through-hole with a potting compound, inserting a portion of a cartridge heater into the through-hole, and curing the potting compound with the cartridge heater.

Provided herein is a spar cap having a profile for guiding and receiving a shear web for wind turbine blade. Particularly, the present disclosure provides a pultruded spar cap having a bond gap feature to maintain a uniform space for distribution of bonding paste between the spar cap and shear web. Also, the spar cap is formed with locating features which guide and receive placement of the shear web.
