Abstract: A multilayered article is disclosed, the multilayered article including a thermosetting polymer material having at least one surface, a thermoplastic polymer layer deposited on the at least one surface of the thermosetting polymer material, a cold sprayed metal layer present on at least a portion of a surface of the thermoplastic polymer layer, at least one additional layer, the at least one additional layer sandwiching at least a portion of the cold sprayed metal layer between the additional layer and the thermoplastic polymer layer, where the thermoplastic polymer layer has a crystallinity of about 5% to about 60%. A method of providing a composite laminate structure is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of molding a metalized composite part. The method comprises: introducing particles comprising at least one metal into a gas stream; directing the gas stream toward a surface of a thermoplastic composite part, thereby depositing a metal layer on the composite part to form a metallized composite part; and molding the metallized composite part to introduce a bend without delamination of the metal layer from the metallized composite part.

Abstract: There is provided an over-molded thermoplastic composite part having an over-molded color, and including a consolidated thermoplastic composite laminate formed by a consolidation process. The consolidated thermoplastic composite laminate is made of a laminate polymer material. The over-molded thermoplastic composite part further includes an over-mold layer over-molded, via an over-molding process, over a first side of the consolidated thermoplastic composite laminate. The over-mold layer includes an over-mold mixture of an over-mold polymer material mixed with one or more additives, including at least a color additive to impart a color to the consolidated thermoplastic composite laminate during the over-molding process. The over-mold polymer material has a melting temperature that is greater than, or equal to, a melting temperature of the laminate polymer material, and that is less than a thermal degradation temperature of the laminate polymer material.

Abstract: A method for continuously fabricating a composite sandwich structure includes the steps of: (1) preheating a laminate to a preforming temperature above a glass transition temperature of the laminate but below or equal to a crystalline melt temperature of the laminate as the laminate is substantially continuously moved through a preheating zone, wherein the laminate comprises a first face sheet, a second face sheet and a core sandwiched between the first face sheet and the second face sheet; (2) consolidating the laminate as the laminate is substantially continuously moved through a consolidation zone in line with the preheating zone to form a continuous length of the composite sandwich structure; (3) moving the composite sandwich structure, substantially continuously, through at least one of a texturing zone and a coating zone; and (4) incrementally applying at least one of a surface texture and a surface coating to at least one surface of the composite sandwich structure.

Abstract: A consolidated thermoplastic composite laminate with ultraviolet protection is provided. The consolidated thermoplastic composite laminate with ultraviolet protection comprises at least one ply of thermoplastic pre-preg material. The consolidated thermoplastic composite laminate with ultraviolet protection also comprises a polymer film positioned on a side of the at least one ply of thermoplastic pre-preg material. The polymer film imparts ultraviolet protection to the thermoplastic pre-preg material after the polymer film and the thermoplastic pre-preg material are heated to a temperature sufficient to consolidate the polymer film and the thermoplastic pre-preg material and thereby to provide the consolidated thermoplastic composite laminate with ultraviolet protection.
