Latest Patent Applications
Markku Nikkilä has submitted a patent application titled "Method and Apparatus for the Manufacturing of Composite Material." This application describes a method and apparatus for creating composite materials that include natural fiber substances, plastic-based substances, and agents that improve compatibility between these materials. The process involves mixing these substances and applying mechanical pressure and heat to remove liquid. A wet mixture containing 41-99.8% water is formed, which is then processed to create a composite material with a unique internal network structure. This structure is maintained by chemical bonds between the plastic-based substance and the natural fiber substance. The application also details a devolatilization process that removes liquid and volatile substances through changes in pressure, heat, and mechanical mixing, while potentially modifying the structure of the natural fiber substance.
Conclusion
Markku Nikkilä's contributions to the field of composite material manufacturing highlight his innovative approach and dedication to advancing technology in this area. His ongoing work at Elastopoli Oy continues to pave the way for future developments in composite materials.
