The present invention falls within the scope of thermo-laminated and compact high-pressure composites, namely it relates to a method for the manufacture of a post-deformable high-pressure composite, which can be used in the automotive, aircraft, railway and naval industries, as well as in the architecture and design sector, both in indoor and outdoor environments, comprising the steps of formation of a composite (1) by the arrangement of at least two layers of material, including a layer of Kraft paper sheets (3) coated with thermoplastic resin and a layer of decorative coating; the composite formed in a flat shape, when subjected to a certain temperature and pressure in a mould (4), changes in its geometry according to the shape of that mould (4). It is also an object of this invention the product obtained with the aforementioned manufacturing method.

Disclosed herein are methods for isolating a composite material from the environment, as well as the isolated composite material. Also disclosed herein are methods for shaping a composite material that include the use of isolated composite materials. For example, disclosed is a method for mechanical thermoforming of a composite material to form a shaped composite material.

According to one implementation, a composite material structure includes a corrugated stringer and a panel. The corrugated stringer has a corrugated structure including portions each having hat-shaped cross section. The corrugated stringer is made of a composite material. The panel is integrated with the corrugated stringer. The panel is made of a composite material. Further, according to one implementation, a manufacturing method of a composite material structure includes: setting a textile on a laminated body of prepregs; and producing the composite material structure by covering the laminated body with a bagging film, forming a vacuum state in a space covered with the bagging film, impregnating the textile with the resin, and thermal curing of the laminated body of the prepregs. The laminated body is a panel before curing. The textile has a structure corresponding to a corrugated stringer.

A method for forming a composite fluid conduit includes providing an inner pipe having a variation in cross-section between at least two different longitudinal sections thereof and applying a fiber reinforced composite material to the inner pipe. In some disclosed examples the variation in cross section may be provided intermediate opposing ends of the inner pipe. In other disclosed examples the variation in cross section may be provided at an end region of the inner pipe.

A flame retardant composition includes poly(carbonate-bisphenol phthalate ester) or a combination of poly(carbonate-bisphenol phthalate ester) and a poly(ester), an organophosphorous flame retardant present in an amount effective to provide 0.5-0.8 wt % of added phosphorous; 5-45 wt % of glass fibers; optionally, a poly(carbonate-siloxane); optionally, 0.01-10 wt % of a flame retardant sulfonate salt; optionally, 0.1-0.6 wt % of an anti-drip agent; and optionally, 0.01-10 wt % an additive composition, wherein the amount of the polymer component, the organophosphorous flame retardant, the glass fibers, and the optional components total 100 wt %; and wherein a molded sample of the flame retardant composition has a UL 94 rating of V0 at a thickness of 1.2 millimeter, preferably a CA UL 94 rating of V0 at a thickness 0.8 millimeter.

A method of manufacturing sheeting is provided, the method including the steps of forming multiple recesses in a symmetrical repeat pattern on a sheet of material, extruding a molten material to form an upper outside wall and a lower outside wall, interposing the formed sheet between the upper outside wall and the lower outside wall, and fixing the interposed sheet to the upper outside wall and the lower outside wall. Also provided is sheeting having an upper outside wall and a lower outside wall and an interposed sheet fixed between the outside walls. The interposed sheet includes multiple recesses in a symmetrical repeat pattern, where the upper and lower outside walls are, or the interposed sheet is, manufactured from a material which includes a polymeric material.

Forming features in the surface of a bicycle component involves depositing a substance onto a substrate in a geometric pattern to form a transfer medium. Forming features may also involve positioning the transfer medium relative to an unformed bicycle component, and forming a negative of the geometric pattern in the bicycle component through the application of heat and/or pressure to the transfer medium and the unformed bicycle component. The transfer medium may be configured for use in the molding of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (“CFRP”) bicycle components and may include a substrate formed of a flexible material, and a geometric pattern formed of a hard material, the hard material different than the flexible material.

The present invention relates to a tool part comprising a polymer composition. The tool part is suitable to be used in direct contact with water and/or in an environment with relative humidity equal to or higher than 55%. The present invention further relates to a process for the preparation of the tool part. The present invention also relates to a process for the preparation of the tool part. The present invention further relates to the use of the polymer composition for the preparation of the tool part.

A process for the production of an article for the cladding of floors or walls, comprising the steps of, in a mold: a) optionally applying a gel coat layer, based on a first curing polymer resin, on the inside of the mold in order to obtain a coated mold, and b) introducing into the core of the mold or into the core of the coated mold from step a) a filling composition which is based on a second curing polymer resin supplemented with at least one mineral filler, wherein core contains at least 5% wt and at most 20% wt of curing polymer resin, relative to the dry amount of filling composition, and the filling composition contains only one single initiator in a concentration of 0.5% wt to 5.0% wt relative to the amount of curing polymer resin in the filling composition.

A curable casting compound, including a polymeric binder and at least one particulate filler incorporated therein, wherein the filler is ground fruit kernels and/or fruit shells, wherein either only the at least one filler composed of ground fruit kernels and/or fruit shells or additionally at least one further particulate inorganic filler is present.
