Systems and methods of forming fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites with electrostatic dissipative properties are described herein. The FRP composite is bonded to a surface and integrates a grounding system to dissipate electro-static energy, thus eliminating the potential risk of explosion. The system can be used for structures that require reinforcement and that are susceptible to electro-static explosions.

Structurally enhanced preformed layers of multiple rigid unidirectional rods are constructed and arranged for use in fabricating load-bearing support structures and reinforcements in a variety of composite components, e.g. wind turbine blades. Individual preform layers include multiple elongate unidirectional strength elements or rods arranged in a single layer along a longitudinal axis of the preform layer. Individual rods include aligned unidirectional structural fibers embedded within a matrix resin such that the rods have a substantially uniform distribution of fibers and high degree of fiber collimation. The relative straightness of the fibers and fiber collimation provide rods and the preform layers with high rigidity and significant compression strength. A plurality of rods are loosely attached, e.g. knitted, together with a coupling that allows for each rod to be axially displaced, e.g. slideable, relative to another rod.

The present disclosure provides a polymer matrix composite, and a laminate, a prepreg and a printed circuit board using the same. The polymer matrix composite includes a polymeric resin and a non-woven inorganic material having a dielectric constant of from about 1.5 to about 4.8 and a dissipation factor at 10 GHz below 0.003. The printed circuit board uses the laminate including the polymer matrix as a core layer which is sandwiched between at least two outer layers.

A termination arrangement for securing an overhead electrical cable to a dead-end structure such as a dead-end tower. The termination arrangement includes a compression sheath that is configured to be disposed between a strength member and the conductive strands of the overhead electrical cable. The compression sheath mitigates damage to the strength member that may occur when an outer metallic sleeve is compressed around the conductive strands and the conductive strands are compressed against the strength member. The arrangement is particularly useful for securing overhead electrical cables having a composite strength member to a dead-end structure.

Described herein is a building panel and related building systems, the building panel having a first major surface opposite a second major surface, the building panel comprising a core comprising a first body comprising a first fibrous material; and a second body comprising a second fibrous material, a veneer facing layer coupled to the core, the veneer facing layer comprising a plurality of perforations.

A thermosetting resin composition containing a thermosetting resin (A), boron nitride (B), and a dispersant (C) with a pH of 8 or higher.

The present disclosure relates to a plastic-containing support for a decorated wall panel or floor panel, comprising a supporting material including a thermoplastic matrix material, in which a solid material with a particle size less than or equal to 800 μm is embedded, wherein the support has a length, a width and a thickness, wherein the support has a density gradient along its thickness from a bottom surface to a top surface arranged on the opposite side to the bottom surface in such a manner, that the density of the supporting material averaged over a specified width or a specified length of at least 5 mm, preferably at least 20 mm, from the bottom surface to the top surface initially declines and then increases again.

The invention relates to decorative panel and a method for producing such panel. The panel according to the present invention comprises a core layer, and a decorative top layer attached to the upper core surface of said core layer. The panel further comprises at least one chamfer provided at at least one of said side edges, wherein the chamfer extends through at least part of the decorative top layer and/or through at least part of the core layer, and the panel comprises at least one coating layer.
