Publication number: 20230160665Abstract: Ballistic resistant composite materials having high positive buoyancy in water are provided. More particularly, provided are foam-free, buoyant composite materials fabricated using dry processing techniques. The materials comprise fibrous plies that are partially coated with a particulate binder that is thermopressed to transform a portion of the binder into raised, discontinuous patches bonded to fiber/tape surfaces, while another portion of the particulate binder remains on the fibers/tapes as unmelted particles. The presence of the unmelted binder particles maintains empty spaces within the composite to materials which increases the positive buoyancy of the composites in water.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2023Publication date: May 25, 2023Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: ASHOK BHATNAGAR, TYLER BARTELT, HENRY GERARD ARDIFF, GARY KRATZER, DAVID A. HURST, LORI L. WAGNER

Patent number: 11499802Abstract: This technology relates materials that are stab, spike and ballistic resistant and to stab, spike and ballistic resistant composite articles incorporating uniaxially oriented, non-woven fabrics. A fabric layer having a non-uniform areal density is formed having thick areas and thin areas, the thick areas having a greater filament/tape concentration compared to the thin areas. In said thick areas, agglomerated tapes/filaments will protrude from the fabric layer surface. Additional layers are then adjoined with the non-uniform layer to form a panel that has stab, spike and ballistic resistance, with protrusions at least partially spacing the additional layers from full, direct contact with the surface of the non-uniform fabric layer to thereby enhance flexibility and stab, spike and ballistic resistance of the whole.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2018Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Ashok Bhatnagar, Gregory A. Davis, David Andrew Steenkamer, Lori L. Wagner

Patent number: 11465388Abstract: Hybrid fibrous composite materials incorporating at least two different fabric components and a multicomponent adhesive system for adhering the fabric components together. The adhesive system enhances the bond strength between the fabric components, which would otherwise easily delaminate from each other and peel apart. The components of the adhesive system bond strongly to each other as well as to the fabric elements.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2017Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Lori L. Wagner, Gregory A. Davis, Brian Duane Arvidson, Henry Gerard Ardiff, Brian Waring

Patent number: 11440287Abstract: Multi-ply, hybrid composite materials useful in the formation of thin walled, hollow, tubular articles having improved resistance to hoop stress. Two different, single-ply pre-pregs are impregnated with binders and laminated together with the fibers of the layers oriented at a bias relative to each other. The hybrid composite is rolled into a tubular article having excellent strength uniformity along the full length of the tubular article.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Gary Kratzer, David A. Hurst, Lori L. Wagner, Ashok Bhatnagar

Patent number: 11214037Abstract: Low porosity fibrous materials, articles formed therefrom and processes for their formation. Multiple plies of high tenacity, multifilament elongate bodies are optionally stitched together and pressed as a set without being laminated, adhered or thermally fused to each other. Pressing spreads the component filaments of the elongate bodies, forcing the filaments to occupy spaces between adjacent fibers and thereby reducing porosity of the complete multi-ply material.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Ashok Bhatnagar, Huy Xuan Nguyen, Lori L. Wagner

Patent number: 11046047Abstract: Multilayer composite materials combining a low tenacity nylon fabric with a fabric formed from high tenacity fibers. The fabrics are bonded with a compatibilizing adhesive system that achieves a peel strength of at least 1.5 lbs/inch. The nylon is colored with a camouflage pattern and the high strength fabric is colored with a color that does not stand out relative to the camouflage pattern. The composite materials are used for forming vest covers and plate carrier materials, particularly webless plate carrier materials having slots for hanging modular accessories.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2017Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Brian Duane Arvidson, Henry Gerard Ardiff, Brian Waring, Lori L.

Patent number: 10760878Abstract: Multilayer composite materials having a camouflaged appearance. More particularly, camouflaged tactical vest covers having slots for the webless attachment of accessories. An easily colored outer fabric is provided with a colored camouflage pattern and backed with a non-colored high tenacity fabric for enhanced durability. A colored intermediate adhesive is employed to maintain a camouflaged visual appearance without the added complexity of dying the high tenacity fibers of the backing material.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2017Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Lori L. Wagner, Brian Duane Arvidson, Gregory A. Davis, Henry Gerard Ardiff
