Latest Patents

One of Brender’s latest patents concerns a method for manufacturing a carbon/carbon composite part with improved mechanical properties. The method uses ceramic particles in a dispersion or impregnation solution and controls the solution’s viscosity to help achieve a homogeneous distribution of particles during drying.

Another patent describes a method for drying an impregnated carbon/carbon composite blank, along with an associated manufacturing method, system, and assembly. It uses different oven conditions for gelling and drying: during gelling, gas circulation and desaturation are restricted; during drying, they are activated to support circulation and solvent removal.

Career Highlights

Brender’s listed inventions focus on processing carbon/carbon composite materials, particularly improving particle distribution and controlling the drying of impregnated blanks. These techniques address manufacturing steps that can affect the properties and consistency of composite parts.

Collaborations

Brender is associated with Safran Landing Systems. His listed coworkers include Amélie Rethore and Floriane Demeyer.

Conclusion

Patrice Brender’s patent work centers on refining the manufacture and drying of carbon/carbon composite parts, with an emphasis on process control and material consistency.
