  • Multi-Component Fibre and Production Method
    Publication number: 20210198811
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a multicomponent fiber, wherein the fiber is formed from a plurality of filaments, where the filaments each have a core and a thermoplastic sheath, and where the sheath is generated during the production of the filaments by in situ polymerization of monomers or oligomers of the thermoplastic on the surface of the core, and also to multicomponent fibers produced accordingly and to organosheets produced therefrom.

  • Method and device for producing inorganic aerogel fibers
    Patent number: 10584036
    Abstract: A method for producing an inorganic silica gel fiber or aerogel fiber, comprising the following steps: a) extrusion of a gel, in particular a hydrogel or alcogel, by means of a spinneret directly into a coagulation bath to form at least one filament, b) stretching of the filament in the coagulation bath, c) regeneration of the filament by extraction from the coagulation bath, and d) supercritical drying or freeze drying in order to convert the filament into a silica fiber, in particular an aerogel fiber.

  • SURFACE-MODIFIED GLASS FIBER WITH BI-COMPONENT CORE-SHEATH STRUCTURE
    Publication number: 20180230048
    Abstract: Surface-modified glass fiber, comprising: a core made of a first glass fiber material; a surface layer that encloses the core completely in a sheath-like way; wherein the surface layer has a higher silicon dioxide percentage and a higher porosity compared to the core.
