  • Patent number: 10071510
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing storage-stable polyurethane prepregs and to moldings (composite components) produced therefrom. The prepregs and, respectively, components are produced by mixing (meth)acrylate monomers, (meth)acrylate polymers, hydroxy-functionalized (meth)acrylate monomers and/or hydroxy-functionalized (meth)acrylate polymers with uretdione materials. Photoinitiators can also optionally be added. This mixture or solution is applied by known processes to fiber material, e.g. carbon fibers, glass fibers or polymer fibers, and is polymerized with the aid of radiation or of plasma methods. Polymerization, e.g. at room temperature or at up to 80° C., gives thermoplastics or thermoplastic prepregs, and these can subsequently also be subjected to forming processes. The hydroxy-functionalized (meth)acrylate constituents can then be crosslinked with the uretdiones already present within the system, by use of elevated temperature.
