  • Composite materials enabling non-destructive testing
    Patent number: 10789700
    Abstract: The invention is related to composite materials that enable the detection of imperfections through non-destructive testing. The composite material may include several constituent materials. One of these constituent materials may include cavities of a predetermined or random shape that are arranged at predetermined or random locations. Another constituent material may at least partially fill at least some of these cavities during manufacturing of the composite material. A method for non-destructively detecting imperfections in such a composite material may involve receiving an image of the composite material that shows at least some cavities and detecting imperfections in the composite material based on an inspection of the image.
