Metal nanowires with uniform noble metal coatings are described. Two methods, galvanic exchange and direct deposition, are disclosed for the successful formation of the uniform noble metal coatings. Both the galvanic exchange reaction and the direct deposition method benefit from the inclusion of appropriately strong binding ligands to control or mediate the coating process to provide for the formation of a uniform coating. The noble metal coated nanowires are effective for the production of stable transparent conductive films, which may comprise a fused metal nanostructured network.

The present disclosure provides methods and systems for an airfoil of a gas turbine engine. An airfoil of a gas turbine engine may comprise an airfoil body having a body contact surface, and an airfoil edge coupled to the body contact surface, wherein at least one of the airfoil body or airfoil edge comprises a fiber metal laminate.

A vessel includes a vessel wall and an insulation assembly coupled to the vessel wall. The insulation assembly includes a stochastic foam material and a microtruss structure encased within the foam material. The microtruss structure includes a plurality of truss members interconnected at a plurality of nodes. Each truss member is in contact with the foam material such that the microtruss structure provides a structural core for the foam material.

The present invention relates to a heat shield for shielding of hot areas, such as hot areas of a combustion engine as well as a part that is shielded with such a heat shield. The heat shield for shielding of hot areas, e. g. of a combustion engine, with at least one metal sheet layer, characterized in that the insulating layer comprises a metallic grid, which is embedded into a fiber mat.

Described herein is a laminate including at least one first layer of at least one first metal and at least one further layer of a polymer composition (PC). Also described herein is a process for producing the laminate.

This application relates to making magnesium oxychloride boards. A magnesium oxychloride slurry is mixed by directing magnesium chloride, magnesium oxide, at least one phosphate, at least one inorganic salt, and water into a mixer and mixing these ingredients together to form a slurry. At least one filler is then mixed with the slurry. The slurry is directed to a mold. The mold is formed with the slurry to form a magnesium oxychloride board. The magnesium oxychloride board is then cured.

A metal fabric (10) has a sheet form, using metal threads for warp (30) as the warp, and metal threads for weft (20) as the weft, wherein each of the metal threads for warp (30) and the metal threads for weft (20) has an average diameter of 0.03 mm or larger and 0.09 mm or smaller, the metal threads for warp (30) and the metal threads for weft (20) may be plain-woven, and the metal fabric (10) may be shaped in a square with a side of 100 mm or longer and 200 mm or shorter.

A low-cost high-performance Vacuum Insulated Glass is produced with three glass panes and bonding fiber mesh structures embedded between the glass panes. Each mesh structure is configured with elongated bonding fiber elements arranged in a grid configuration. The bonding fiber elements are formed with a fiber core covered with a low melting temperature material. The low melting temperature material melts upon heating and creates numerous vacuum sealed cells between the glass panes. The fiber core does not melt, and remains intact bonded to the glass panes, thus creating a support mechanism for supporting the glass panes at a spaced apart relationship.
