  • Patent number: 11788175
    Abstract: Carbon fiber reinforced steel matrix composites have carbon fiber impregnated in the steel matrix and chemically bonded to the steel. Chemical bonding is shown by the presence of a unique amorphous carbon layer at the carbon fiber/steel interface, and by canting of steel crystal edges adjacent to the interface. Methods for forming carbon fiber reinforce steel composites include sintering steel nanoparticles around a reinforcing carbon fiber structure, thereby chemically bonding a sintered steel matrix to the carbon fiber. This unique bonding likely contributes to enhanced strength of the composite, in comparison to metal matrix composites formed by other methods.

  • Publication number: 20150060723
    Abstract: The disclosed concept relates to compositions and methods for the manufacture of electrically resistive, thermally conductive electrical switching apparatus. The composition includes a polymer component and a nanofiber component. The thermal conductivity of the nanofiber component is higher than the thermal conductivity of the polymer component such that the electrical switching apparatus which includes the composition of the disclosed concept has improved heat dissipation as compared to an electrical switching apparatus constructed of the polymer component in the absence of the nanofiber component. Further, the disclosed concept relates to methods of towering the internal temperature of an electrically resistive, thermally conductive electrical switching apparatus by forming the internals of the apparatus, e.g., circuit breakers, and/or the enclosure from the composition of the disclosed concept.

  • Publication number: 20150034858
    Abstract: A thermally conductive polymer composition comprising (1) a polymer material, and (2) a thermally conductive filler. The thermally conductive filler can be boron nitride. The thermally conductive polymer composition can be used in a molding operation to form a molded article and can reduce the molding cycle time of a molding process. In one embodiment, increasing the thermal conductivity of a polymer material (as compared to the thermal conductivity of the material in the absence of a thermally conductive filler) increases the thermal diffusivity and reduces the cooling time of the article. The present invention also provides methods of forming molded articles from such compositions.
