  • Reducing galvanic degradation of hybrid metal/composite structures
    Patent number: 5643499
    Abstract: Galvanic degradation under salt spray or salt water conditions in hybrid structures containing a corrosible metal and a conductive-fiber reinforced polymer matrix composite is reduced through the addition to the polymer matrix of the composite of an effective amount of an inorganic corrosion/degradation inhibitor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 1993
    Date of Patent: July 1, 1997
    Assignee: Cytec Technology Corp.
    Inventors: Jack D. Boyd, Lawrence C. Hopper

  • Toughened, fiber-reinforced thermosetting resin matrix prepregs and composites made therefrom
    Patent number: 5627222
    Abstract: The subject invention pertains to toughened thermosetting resin systems useful as structural adhesives and as matrix resins for thermosetting fiber-reinforced prepregs. These toughened resins employ a most minor amount of functionalized elastomeric particles having a T.sub.g of 10.degree. C. or below dispersed in a thermosetting base resin system.
