LAMINATE, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME AND PREPREG - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240051281 titled 'LAMINATE, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME AND PREPREG

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a lightweight laminate that maintains mechanical properties while having excellent flame retardancy. It also describes a method for producing the laminate and a prepreg, which is a material used in composite manufacturing.

  • The laminate consists of fibers, a matrix resin, and a flame-retardant filler.
  • The laminate satisfies the condition of 0.01 < a/b < 0.15, where a and b are defined parameters.
  • The prepreg also consists of fibers, a matrix resin, and a flame-retardant filler.
  • The prepreg satisfies the condition of 0.01 < a/b < 0.15, where a and b are defined parameters.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Aerospace industry: The lightweight and flame-retardant properties of the laminate make it suitable for use in aircraft components, such as interior panels and structural elements.
  • Automotive industry: The laminate can be used in the manufacturing of lightweight and fire-resistant parts for vehicles, improving safety and fuel efficiency.
  • Construction industry: The flame-retardant properties of the laminate make it suitable for use in building materials, such as wall panels and insulation, to enhance fire safety.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Maintaining mechanical properties: The laminate addresses the challenge of maintaining mechanical strength and performance while incorporating flame retardancy.
  • Fire safety: The flame-retardant properties of the laminate and prepreg help prevent the spread of fire and reduce the risk of damage or injury in various applications.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Lightweight: The laminate is lightweight, making it suitable for applications where weight reduction is desired, such as in aerospace and automotive industries.
  • Flame retardancy: The laminate exhibits excellent flame retardancy, providing enhanced fire safety in various industries.
  • Mechanical properties: The laminate maintains mechanical properties, ensuring structural integrity and performance in different applications.
