Abstract: A fiber composite material includes fibers and a resin connecting the fibers. The composite material has a high strength while reducing resin consumption and has great flexibility with respect to subsequent deformation. To achieve this, threads are used that include a plurality of individual filaments and a resin which can be crosslinked under an impact of at least one physical variable and/or one chemical substance. The resin is provided in non-crosslinked condition, but is essentially solvent-free, and holds the individual filaments in the threads together, wherein the individual filaments are arranged unidirectional to each other, and the threads form a composite by bonding together at contact surfaces of their respective external enveloping surfaces through resin bridges. The invention further relates to a fiber composite material including resin in a crosslinked state as well as a method for producing the fiber composite material.

Abstract: The method for producing a thread which includes a plurality of individual filaments individually supported at a distance from one another and coated with a flowable resin which includes a solvent and can be crosslinked under the effect of at least one physical variable and/or one chemical substance. The coated individual filaments are subsequently compacted so that a composite is formed which includes the individual filaments and the resin continuously surrounding them and which is free of gas pockets. The solvent included in the resin is expelled from the composite during a drying process. Subsequently, the composite, presently a monofilament thread, is wound up in a non-crosslinked state of the resin. All individual filaments are aligned unidirectionally during all steps of the method. The invention further relates to a device to perform the method and a monofilament thread produced with the device.

Abstract: The invention relates to producing threads that are suitable for further processing into textile fabrics and/or semi-finished products made from the threads, wherein the fabrics and products are characterized by high strength, simple numerical computability of mechanical load conditions and low resin consumption. To achieve this, the invention proposes a method for producing a thread which includes a plurality of individual filaments individually supported at a distance from one another and coated with a flowable resin which includes a solvent and can be crosslinked under the effect of at least one physical variable and/or one chemical substance. The coated individual filaments are subsequently compacted so that a composite is formed which includes the individual filaments and the resin continuously surrounding them and which is free of gas pockets. The solvent included in the resin is expelled from the composite during a drying process.
