A braided carbon structure and methods of forming and processing are presented. The braided carbon structure comprises axial tows comprising carbon filaments; braid tows at a braid angle relative to the axial tows, the braid tows comprising carbon filaments; and thermoplastic material within at least one of the axial tows or the braid tows, wherein the thermoplastic material makes up less than 40 of each of the at least one of the axial tows or the braid tows.

Braided composite products comprising thermoplastic material

Examples are disclosed herein that relate to vehicles, composite parts, and methods for forming a composite part for a vehicle. In one example, a vehicle comprises a composite part comprising a skin comprising one or more material layers. The composite part further comprises a stiffener comprising one or more material layers, wherein the stiffener comprises a flange and a web. The composite part also includes an additively manufactured sub-structure positioned between at least a portion of the skin and at least a portion of the stiffener. The additively manufactured sub-structure comprises at least one flange portion, at least one radius, and at least one radius filler. A polymer matrix is co-infused within the skin, the stiffener, and the additively manufactured sub-structure.

Composite part with additively manufactured sub-structure

Disclosed herein are methods for fabricating a composite structure by forming, via additive manufacturing, a solid-phase component; positioning the solid-phase component and a reinforcement into a mold cavity; and consolidating, in the mold cavity, the solid-phase component, the reinforcement, and a liquid-phase component to form the composite structure.

Method for making consolidated composite structures

The present disclosure relates to a method of reactivating the surface of an organic paint coating, a method of facilitating adhesion of a further coating to the organic paint coating, and a substrate having a reactivated organic paint coating. There is also disclosed a surface reactivation treatment for an organic paint coating. The reactivation method also facilitates adhesion of the organic paint coating to further coating(s) across a broad application window.

Surface reactivation treatment

The present invention relates to a method of activating an organic coating to enhance adhesion of the coating to a further coating and/or to other entities comprising applying a solvent and a surface chemistry and/or surface topography modifying agent to the organic coating. The invention also relates to a coated substrate having an activated coating, wherein the adhesion of the coating to a further coating and/or other entities has been enhanced by application of a solvent and a surface chemistry and/or surface topography modifying agent to the coating. The invention further relates to an activation treatment for an organic coating to enhance adhesion of the coating to a further coating and/or to other entities comprising a solvent and a surface chemistry and/or surface topography modifying agent and a method for the preparation of the activation treatment.

Activation method using modifying agent

The present disclosure relates to polymers which are cross-linked reaction products of a reactive siloxane and/or a polyisocyanate and/or a polyol, a polyamine and/or reactive coating capable of reducing the ability of ice to adhere to the surface of an object, in particular aircraft or other vehicles, methods of producing the polymers and their use in coating surfaces.

Ice adhesion reducing polymers

The present disclosure relates to an FPOSS prepolymer which may be reacted with a reactive coating or a polyisocyanate and/or one or more of a polysiloxane, a polyol, a polyamine and a reactive coating; an FPOSS polyisocyanate prepolymer which may be reacted with one or more of a polysiloxane, a polyol, a polyamine or a reactive coating; and an FPOSS siloxane prepolymer which may be reacted with a polyisocyanate and/or one or more of a polyol, a polyamine or a reactive coating to form cross-linked polymers capable of reducing the ability of ice to adhere to the surface of an object, in particular aircraft or other vehicles, methods of producing the prepolymers and polymers and their use in coating surfaces.

Ice adhesion reducing prepolymers and polymers
