The use of biomass fiber reinforcement for polymer composite applications, like those in buildings or automotive, has expanded rapidly due to the low cost, high stiffness, and inherent renewability of these materials. Biomass are commonly disposed of as waste.
This invention introduces a continuous composite forming process that produces large parts with variable cross-sections and shapes, exceeding the size of the forming machine itself.
Using all polymer formulations, the PIP densification is improved almost 70% over traditional preceramic polymers and PIP material leading to cost and times saving for densifying ceramic composites made from powder or fibers.
Fusion reactors need efficient systems to create tritium fuel and handle intense heat and radiation. Traditional liquid metal systems face challenges like high pressure losses and material breakdown in strong magnetic fields.
The technologies provide a system and method of needling of veiled AS4 fabric tape.
The traditional window installation process involves many steps. These are becoming even more complex with newer construction requirements such as installation of windows over exterior continuous insulation walls.
New demands in electric vehicles have resulted in design changes for the power electronic components such as the capacitor to incur lower volume, higher operating temperatures, and dielectric properties (high dielectric permittivity and high electrical breakdown strengths).
Fiberglass, semi-structural insulation for recycled glass fiber and using a low cost silicon with pultruded rods, either fiberglass and a low cost resin, polyester for pultruded rods. It will reduce the use of wood, which is flammable, and still be structural.
Through the use of splicing methods, joining two different fiber types in the tow stage of the process enables great benefits to the strength of the material change.
Wire arc additive manufacturing has limited productivity and casting processes require complex molds that are expensive and time-consuming to produce.
