The present invention generally relates to processes for compression molding a composite article comprising at least one prepreg and at least one transformer film.

Process for compression molding a composite article

A deformable, coated radius filler composed of a continuous or elongated fibrous structure and a tacky, resin surface coating formed by pulling a dry, continuous or elongated fibrous structure through a heated resin bath. The coated radius filler has an inner portion that is substantially free of resin and the resin surface coating has a substantially uniform thickness.

Resin coated radius fillers and method of making the same

A prepared mold tool having a thermoplastic surface layer polymer coating on the mold surface of the mold tool or prepared prepreg having a thermoplastic surface layer polymer coating on the surface of the thermoplastic fiber reinforced prepreg are described that enhance first ply laydown of thermoplastic fiber reinforced composite prepregs onto mold tools for prepreg forming or in situ tape placement. Resulting thermoplastic fiber reinforced composite parts from a thermoplastic fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite material having structural reinforcement fibers with one or more high performance polymers, and a thermoplastic surface layer polymer coating which forms a polymer blend with the high performance polymers of the thermoplastic fiber reinforced composite material thereby imparting improved properties, and methods for making and using same, are provided herein.

Surface engineering of thermoplastic materials and tooling

A resin infusion method that incorporates a melt-on-demand approach. The method includes: (a) providing a curable resin composition in the form of a block of frozen resin (); (b) coupling the block of frozen resin () to an inlet port of a heated extruder (), which comprises at least one rotating screw () housed within a heated barrel (); (c) progressively melting the block of frozen resin () at the inlet port and concurrently feeding the melt resin through the heated barrel () to produce a liquid resin having a viscosity suitable for resin infusion; (d) continuously feeding the liquid resin exiting from the extruder to a mold, which contains a fibrous preform; and (e) introducing the liquid resin into the fibrous preform, wherein the block of frozen resin () provides an amount of resin composition sufficient for infusing the entire fibrous preform.

Resin infusion process for manufacturing fiber-reinforced composites

A plurality of thermoplastic composite structures are laminated to each other in a lay-up arrangement to form a laminate. Each thermoplastic composite structure is composed of a core composite layer and a surface layer polymer applied to opposing surfaces of the core composite layer. The core composite layer is composed of a fibrous substrate and one or more high performance polymers, which crystallize at a faster rate than the surface layer polymer.

Thermoplastic composites and methods of making and using same

Apparatus for producing spread fiber bundles by strategic use of tension control throughout the device and use of higher differential speeds between driven rollers and line speed of the running fiber bundle are provided herein, along with methods for producing spread fibers, prepregs, and articles of manufacture therefrom.

Apparatus and methods for spreading fiber bundles for the continuous production of prepreg

Thermoplastic composites having a core composite layer including a fibrous substrate and one or more high performance polymer, and a surface layer polymer applied to at least one surface of the core composite layer, which forms a polymer blend with the high performance polymer thereby imparting improved toughness and processing times, and methods for making and using same, are provided herein.

The combination analogue face watch and an electronic calculator having a separate digital display wherein the numerical inputs for the calculator lie adjacent and correspond to the hour designations about the analogue watch face. Thus, the watch provides a conceptual transfer of input function keys for a calculator about an analogue dial watch so that the keys serve the dual function of providing the hour designation and identical numerical inputs for the calculator.

Analogue dial calculator/wrist watch

A planetarium educational device which illustrates the relative positioning and movement of the earth, moon, sun and other celestial objects in the solar system. The device also provides an illustrative means for depicting the changes in the ocean tides with respect to time, the time changes of selected points on the earth as the earth cycles through a day as well as a means for visually determining the portion of the earth in each day and for measuring of the elevational position of celestial objects above the horizon, azimuths and for generally teaching various aspects of celestial navigation.
