  • Patent number: 10093081
    Abstract: A resin-rich peel ply that does not leave behind residual fibers after peeling and can work well with different resin-based composite substrates. The resin-rich peel ply is composed of a woven fabric impregnated with a resin matrix different from the resin matrix of the composite substrate. The peel ply is designed such that, upon manual removal of the peel ply from the composite substrate's surface, a thin film of the peel ply resin remains on the composite substrate's surface to create a bondable surface capable of bonding with another composite substrate, but no fibrous material from the woven fabric remains on the same surface.

  • Patent number: 9822425
    Abstract: Provided herein are processes for recovering metal present at low concentration from an acidic aqueous solution, including contacting the acidic aqueous solution with an organic phase solution including one or more 5-(C8 to C14 alkyl)-2-hydroxyaryloxime, thereby extracting at least part of the metal from the acidic aqueous phase; increasing or maintaining the concentration of metal in the organic phase solution by recycling a portion of the organic phase solution containing the metal and contacting the organic phase with an acidic aqueous solution containing the metal; contacting the organic phase solution containing metal with an aqueous phase strip solution comprising an inorganic compound that back-extracts the metal, thereby stripping at least part of the metal from the organic phase solution to the aqueous phase strip solution; and separating the metal from the aqueous phase strip solution, thereby recovering the metal.

  • Publication number: 20170326819
    Abstract: A manufacturing process, which includes: (i) preparing a preform; (ii) laying the preform within a mold; (iii) heating the mold to a predetermined temperature; and (iv) injecting a modified resin system, wherein the modified resin system is formulated to have a viscosity below a threshold viscosity at a specific temperature and a high level of toughness. In one embodiment, the modified resin system contains a combination of epoxies, a curing agent, core-shell rubber particles, a thermoplastic material in an amount of less than 7% by weight, wherein in a cured condition, the thermoplastic material is separated into aggregate domains from the base resin, each aggregate domain having an island-like morphology.

  • Patent number: 9499666
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are monofunctional benzoxazine compounds having at least one electron-withdrawing group. The monofunctional benzoxazine compounds may be combined with one or more multifunctional benzoxazine compounds to form a unique benzoxazine blend. This benzoxazine blend may be combined with additional components such as catalysts and toughening agents to form a curable resin composition suitable for forming resinous films or composite materials. The presence of monofunctional benzoxazine improves the processability of the benzoxazine-based resin composition by reducing the viscosity of the resin composition, and results in improved tack and drape in the films and composite materials formed from the composition without the loss of modulus in the cured resin.
