  • METHOD OF MULTI-AXIAL CRYSTALLINE THERMOPLASTIC COATING OF COMPOSITE STRUCTURES
    Publication number: 20070170618
    Abstract: A method for thermoplastic coating composite structures includes applying a crystalline crystalline multi-axially oriented thermoplastic layer onto a working surface of a tool. A layer of composite material is applied onto the crystalline crystalline multi-axially oriented thermoplastic layer, and the crystalline crystalline multi-axially oriented thermoplastic layer and the layer of composite material are cocured at a specific temperature and pressure in an autoclave. The softening temperature of the crystalline crystalline multi-axially oriented thermoplastic layer is not substantially greater than the curing temperature of the composite material.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 3, 2007
    Publication date: July 26, 2007
    Applicant: Northrop Grumman Corporation
    Inventors: Don DiMarzio, Charles Weizenecker, Steve Chu, Dom Anton
  • Thermoplastic coating for composite structures
    Patent number: 6974606
    Abstract: A method of thermoplastic coating composite structures includes heating a tool. A thermoplastic layer is deposited onto the heated tool by thermal spraying a thermoplastic on the heated tool. Composite material is applied onto the thermoplastic layer. The thermoplastic layer and the composite material are then cured.
