Latest Patents
Shyn-Yang Lee holds a patent for a method of making continuous glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastic foam. This patent describes a process that involves several key steps. First, an extruder is used to continuously extrude a first plastic resin through an extruder die to form a first plastic resin layer. Next, a plurality of prepreg strips is continuously pulled along with the first plastic resin layer. Finally, these prepreg strips are combined with the first plastic resin layer to create a sandwiched composite. This composite contains at least two prepreg layers separated by the first plastic resin. The prepreg strips are made of reinforcing fibers that are impregnated with a second plastic resin. The resulting fiber-reinforced and sandwich-structured plastic composites exhibit greatly improved flexural strength and flexural modulus, approaching those of real wood. They can also be drilled, nailed, chiseled, and sawed, similar to natural wood.
