The present invention relates to a molding made from foam, wherein at least one fiber (F) is partly within the molding, i.e. is surrounded by the foam. The two ends of the respective fibers (F) that are not surrounded by the foam thus each project from one side of the corresponding molding. The foam comprises at least two mutually bonded foam segments.

Further, the present invention provides a cured product containing resin particles and a matrix resin, wherein the resin particles are a cured product of an epoxy compound A having a specific structure having an aromatic ring, and having an epoxy equivalent in the range of from 500 to 10,000 g/eq, and the matrix resin is a cured product of an epoxy compound B having an epoxy equivalent in the range of from 100 to 300 g/eq, and a laminate having a substrate and the cured product.

A multi-use adhesive tape including a first backing layer, a first adhesive layer on at least part of a surface of the first backing layer, a second backing layer and a second adhesive layer on at least part of a surface of the second backing layer. The second adhesive layer is releasably engaged with the first backing layer and the tape is configured so that the tape can be applied to an article using the first adhesive layer and, after removal from the article, the first backing layer can be removed so that the second backing layer can be applied to the article using the second adhesive layer.

A manufacturing method of a highly flameproof laminated composite material is provided in the present disclosure. The manufacturing method of the highly flameproof laminated composite material includes the steps as follows. A raw material is provided, a shaping step is performed and a combining step is performed. The raw material includes an inorganic powder and a polymer material. In the shaping step, the raw material is made into at least one inorganic layer, an inorganic sheet, a ply of film, or a layer of coating. In the combining step, the inorganic layer is made to be connected to a surface of a substrate, so as to obtain the highly flameproof laminated composite material. A weight ratio of the inorganic powder and the polymer material is 0.01-0.1, and a thickness of the inorganic layer is 0.1 mm-8.0 mm.

A structural panel includes a first skin, a second skin and a core. The core is connected to the first skin and the second skin. The core includes a corrugated sheet of wire mesh that includes a plurality of corrugations. Each of the corrugations extends vertically between and engages the first skin and the second skin.

The invention relates to a timepiece component made of composite material including at least one reinforcement and one matrix, the reinforcement having a three-dimensional honeycomb structure with a plurality of cells into which the matrix is injected. The invention also concerns a method for manufacturing such a timepiece component.

A fiber-reinforced composite material has a fabric base material including laminated obliquely-crossed fabric layers, each of which is configured by weaving first and second reinforced fiber bundles, which obliquely cross each other. In adjacent two of the fabric layers, one of an orientation of the first reinforced fiber bundles and an orientation of the second reinforced fiber bundles in one fabric layer is the same as one of an orientation of the first reinforced fiber bundles and an orientation of the second reinforced fiber bundles of the other fabric layer. A single-orientation layer is placed between the adjacent fabric layers such that an orientation of fiber bundles of the single-orientation layer is the same as an orientation of reinforced fiber bundles having the same orientation as each other in the adjacent fabric layers.

Provided are composite particles in which reinforcing fibers adhere to the surface of thermoplastic resin expanded beads via a thermosetting resin being in an uncured state, a cured product of the composite particles, an in-mold molded article of the composite particles, a laminate of the composite particles and a reinforcing fiber sheet material, a composite of the composite particles, and a method for producing composite particles.

A passivating flexible insulation blanket positionable about a pipe includes an insulation core, an enclosing fabric, and a non-consumable passivator. The insulation core is substantially hydrophobic and includes a microporous material. The enclosing fabric fully encapsulates the insulation core to form a capsule or pouch about the insulation core. The non-consumable passivator is non-consumable such that there is no appreciable change to a mass of the non-consumable passivator after an extended time of activation. The non-consumable passivator is deposited into the insulation core and has a composition soluble in water. The non-consumable passivator includes a leachable component that leaches from the insulation core and is capable of neutralizing acidic components. The leachable component is water soluble and is capable of reacting with a surface of the pipe to form a protective coating on the pipe to aid in inhibiting corrosion formation on the surface of the pipe.

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.
