  • Hybrid self-reinforced composite material
    Patent number: 11167503
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel hybrid self-reinforced composites, combining an oriented brittle fibre and an oriented thermoplastic polymeric ductile fibre (as reinforcement phase) in the same thermoplastic polymeric matrix phase. The hybrid self-reinforced composites are strong and stiff, but in case of impact or crash they have high strain to failure and absorb a lot of energy. The present invention also relates to methods to produce said hybrid self-reinforced composites by a hot compaction technique.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 24, 2013
    Date of Patent: November 9, 2021
    Assignee: KATHOLIEKE UNIVERSITEIT LEUVEN
    Inventors: Mark J. Bonner, Larissa Gorbatikh, Peter J. Hine, Yentl Swolfs, Ignaas Verpoest, Ian M. Ward
