  • FIBER REINFORCED RESIN ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20100219612
    Abstract: An uncured fiber reinforced assembly that includes a reinforcement layer containing a fibrous material and at least one highly reactive curing agent. A matrix film layer is applied to the reinforcement layer so that it does not substantially impregnate the reinforcement layer. The matrix film layer includes at least one uncured epoxy resin and at least one latent epoxy curing agent. The assembly is designed for use in making snowboards and skis.

  • Composite material
    Patent number: 7527250
    Abstract: Composite materials composed of a structural fibrous reinforcement and a matrix resin composition. The matrix resin composition includes at least one thermoset resin component, at least one curative component and at least one inorganic nano-scale particulate. The cured composite material exhibits a fatigue performance such that it achieves greater than 300,000 cycles under a flexural load of 850 MPa at 90° C.
