Publication number: 20110298152Abstract: The invention describes a new synthetic fiber material of polyhydroxyether, as well as a melt-spinning method for its production. The new material can be used, in particular, for stabilization of the reinforcement fibers of high-performance fiber composite materials before they are embedded in the matrix material. During this usage, the polyhydroxyether fiber material dissolves at a temperature above its glass transition temperature entirely in the matrix material, so that the reinforcement fibers can be arranged largely free of kinking. In addition, it forms cross-links with the matrix material to form a homogeneous matrix and thus does not constitute a disruptive third phase in the composite material. The compatibility of the matrix and reinforcement fiber is also improved. It was possible to improve the bending strength of test slabs by 12% as compared to that of reference slabs with polyester filament.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2011Publication date: December 8, 2011Applicant: Ems-Chemie AGInventors: Simon Sutter, Jürgen Spindler

Patent number: 7883659Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for equalizing the orientation of fillers and/or distribution of fillers in a molding compound comprising filled plastic material of an injection molded part. A method of this type is required in particular during injection molding. The method according to the invention is characterized in that the injection mold and the molding compound are supplied with sound during injection molding in the injection mold. The sound has a frequency in the range of the spectrum of the first ten natural frequencies of the filler-matrix system. By supplying with this sound, the fillers, for example fibers, are distributed within the injection molding compound in a more isotropic manner with respect to their orientation and distribution so that significantly better mechanical and optical properties of the injection molded part are produced.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2006Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: EMS-Chemie AGInventors: Thomas Jeltsch, Werner Kägi
