  • Patent number: 9878500
    Abstract: Provided is a prepreg composed of a fibrous substrate impregnated with a reactive or highly reactive polymer composition as a matrix material. The reactive or highly reactive polymer composition contains a (meth)acrylate-based resin comprising at least one of a hydroxyl group, an amine group, a thiol group, an initiator and/or accelerator, and a di- or polyisocyanate which has been internally capped, capped with a capping agent, or a combination thereof. The (meth)acrylate-based resin contains from 20% by weight to 70% by weight of at least one (meth)acrylate monomer and from 1% by weight to 50% by weight of at least one prepolymer.

  • Patent number: 9862788
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an innovative (meth)acrylic reactive resin which cures with low odor or odorlessly. The present invention relates more particularly to reactive resins comprising high-boiling, reactive (meth)acrylic monomers from the group of the polar, cyclically substituted esters of (meth)acrylic acid, more particularly glycerol acetal, ketal or carbonate methacrylates. These new components are used as substitutes for MMA, which represents the major part of the odor nuisance in the existing, prior-art reactive resin systems. Using these new components it is possible to obtain resin formulations which have glass transition temperatures similar to, and properties comparable with, MMA-based resins. The innovative reactive resins are able in addition to exhibit more rapid curing than prior-art MMA-based systems. Reactive resins for the purposes of the invention are reactive monomer mixtures or mixtures of monomers and polymers that when used as a 2-component system can be readily cured.

  • Publication number: 20130323993
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing polyurethane prepregs which are stable during storage, and to mouldings (composite components) produced therefrom. The prepregs or 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 and moreover with aromatic amines which accelerate a free-radical polymerization reaction. This mixture or solution is applied by known processes to fibre material, e.g. carbon fibres, glass fibres or polymer fibres, and is polymerized at room temperature or higher temperatures with the aid of initiators, e.g. dibenzoyl peroxide. Instead of amine acceleration and subsequent hardening with initiators, it is also possible to use other known room-temperature curing systems, e.g. permaleate systems. Polymerization, e.g. at room temperature or at up to 80° C.

  • Publication number: 20120171492
    Abstract: The invention relates to the production of core-shell particles for encapsulating reactive components for single-component resin systems. In particular, the invention relates to the encapsulation of radical initiators such as peroxides. The invention further relates to a method for the 100% encapsulation of reactive components, whereby novel, storage-stable resin systems can be provided. At the same time, the core-shell particles are designed such that they can be opened nearly completely, easily and quickly during application, but have sufficient storage and shear stability before application.
