METHOD FOR JOINING THERMOSET COMPONENTS
20170028698 · 2017-02-02 ·

A method for joining one or more first-type thermoset components to a second-type thermoset component, each first-type thermoset component being manufactured by providing an uncured starting thermoset component on which a thermoplastic material layer is placed, such that an interpenetrating network forms between the thermoset polymer of the starting thermoset component and the corresponding thermoplastic material layer when each first-type thermoset component is cured; and each first-type thermoset component being then placed on an uncured second-type thermoset component so that when the latter is cured, a further interpenetrating network forms between each thermoplastic material layer and the thermoset polymer of the second-type thermoset component; this results in a strong joint between the first-type and the second-type thermoset components.
