REFORMABLE EPOXY RESIN FOR COMPOSITES
The present invention contemplates a method for forming a composite structure including a plurality of rigid layers and one or more reformable epoxy resin layers. The resulting composite is molded to form a non-planar composite structure.
Bonding process and system
A system and process for bonding involves a pocket made into one article is used to secure that article to another using a flowable, curable material (e.g., resin) which during saturation enters through a passageway and at least partially fills the void. When the article is cured, the article is bonded to another article to which resin has also been applied since the void (now containing cured material) is larger than the passageway.
Method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade
A method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade, including the step of monitoring a process of infusing and/or curing a fiber lay-up with resin in a mold, wherein the monitoring is based on sensor data obtained from the resin infusion and/or curing process displayed in an augmented reality device, is provided. Displaying sensor data obtained from the resin infusion and/or curing process in an augmented reality device allows to better monitor the resin infusion and/or curing process. Thus, the quality of the manufactured wind turbine blade can be improved.

Composite doors and methods of forming thereof
A composite door comprises a composite frame, which comprises a first rail, a second rail, and crossbeams, joining the first rail and the second rail. The composite door also comprises a first composite side beam, a second composite side beam, and a composite skin, connected to each of the crossbeams of the composite frame, to the first composite side beam, and to the second composite side beam. The composite door further comprises first composite edge fittings, each connected to a corresponding one of the crossbeams of the composite frame, to the first composite side beam, and to the composite skin, and second composite edge fittings, each connected to a corresponding one of the crossbeams of the composite frame, to the second composite side beam, and to the composite skin.
Manufacturing method of halogen-free flame-retardant thermoplastic braided fiber reinforced polymer composite board and product thereof
A manufacturing method of a halogen-free flame-retardant thermoplastic braided fiber reinforced polymer composite board, comprising steps of: preparing a recycled material containing a halogen-free flame-retardant thermoplastic braided fiber reinforced polymer composite; adding a polymer base material to the recycled material to form a core layer material and extruding the core layer material with a low shear extruder; hot pressing the core layer material by rollers to obtain a recycled fiber core layer; preparing a reinforcement layer containing a fiber material or a fabric with pores; and stacking and hot pressing the recycled fiber core layer and the reinforcement layer.
