  • Methods and systems for curing composites and associated microcrack-resistant composites
    Patent number: 12122073
    Abstract: A method for curing a composite including a thermoset resin, a reinforcement material and a thermoplastic additive, the thermoplastic additive having a melt onset temperature, the method including heating the composite to increase a resin temperature of the thermoset resin and, during the heating, controlling the resin temperature such that the resin temperature exceeds the melt onset temperature prior to the thermoset resin achieving a degree of cure of 98 percent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 2021
    Date of Patent: October 22, 2024
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
    Inventors: George Holden, Benjamin P. Adamson, Christopher A. Howe
