  • Method for toughening via the production of spiral architectures through powder loaded polymeric extrusion and toughened materials formed thereby
    Patent number: 8192853
    Abstract: A toughened composite material, having a first phase defining a matrix and a plurality of typically second phase particles dispersed in the first phase matrix. Each respective particle is characterized by a predetermined geometric architecture, such as a spiral shape. The presence of the geometrically distinct dispersed second phase operates to deflect and attenuate crack propagation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 12, 2008
    Date of Patent: June 5, 2012
    Inventors: Greg Hilmas Hilmas, William Fahrenholtz, Jeremy Watts

  • Ceramic components having multilayered architectures and processes for manufacturing the same
    Publication number: 20050082726
    Abstract: The present invention relates to multilayered ceramic components (10) and methods of fabricating such multilayered architectures. More particularly, the present invention relates to multilayered components having a plurality of dielectric (12) and electrode material (14, 15) layers. The multilayered components are manufactured by coextrusion processes.
