Title: Takuya Yamane: Advancing Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Composite Materials

Introduction

Takuya Yamane is an inventor based in Iyo-gun, Japan, and works at Toray Industries, Inc. His patent work includes a carbon fiber-reinforced composite material designed to reduce the risk of edge glow through control of the material’s internal structure.

Latest Patents

Yamane’s listed patent, “Carbon fiber-reinforced composite material,” addresses the challenge of reducing edge glow in carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP). The invention aims to lower this risk without relying on expensive conductive particles, and to improve performance even when such particles are used in amounts no greater than those found in conventional approaches.

The patent describes a cured composite made from multidirectionally laminated carbon fiber sheets impregnated with matrix resin. It specifies a layered structure with defined carbon-fiber volume content factors, including high- and low-volume-content sublayers, and limits the resin portion between a specified layer and at least one adjacent layer to 5 μm or less. This structural approach is intended to reduce edge glow while preserving the composite’s useful properties.

Career Highlights
