IMPACT RESISTANT COMPOSITE MATERIAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240298732 titled 'IMPACT RESISTANT COMPOSITE MATERIAL
The patent application relates to an enhanced auxetic composite material (EACM) made of a base thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and/or a thermoset material combined with an auxetic material, formed through a molding process where the base material is injected or formed around the auxetic material. The composite material provides higher impact performance than the individual materials.
- The innovation involves combining energy-absorbing materials with auxetic materials to enhance impact performance.
- TPE material injected into auxetic structures may fill internal voids, improving impact resistance.
- The auxetic material may be suspended within the TPE material and encapsulated around it for added strength.
- Auxetic materials can take various forms such as sheets, 3D structures, and particles, each offering unique benefits.
- Personal protection articles incorporating these materials may provide long life and enhanced impact resistance.
Potential Applications: The technology can be applied in various personal protection articles, sports equipment, automotive parts, and construction materials.

Original Abstract Submitted
apparatus and associated methods relate to an enhanced auxetic composite material (eacm) of a base thermoplastic elastomer (tpe) and/or a thermoset material combined with an auxetic material, the composite formed with a molding process, where the base material is injected or dripped into or injected, dripped or formed around the auxetic material, the composite material providing higher impact performance than the individual materials. in an illustrative example, combining various energy absorbing materials with auxetic materials may further enhance impact performance. in some examples, tpe material injected into auxetic structures may fill internal voids. in some examples, the auxetic material may be suspended within the tpe material and be encapsulated around the auxetic material form. auxetic materials may take various forms, for example, sheets, 3-d structures, and particles, each providing unique benefits. various embodiments included within various personal protection articles may advantageously provide long life and enhance impact resistance.
