  • Articles including high melt flow index resins
    Patent number: 10364368
    Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein are directed to composite materials comprising one or more high melt flow index resins. In some examples, the composites can be used to provide automotive parts such as, for example, vehicle interior parts and vehicle exterior parts. In some configurations, the composite comprises a fiber reinforced polymer core comprising reinforcing fibers and a resin comprising a high melt flow index of greater than 325 g/10 min. as measured by ASTM D1238, condition L.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 29, 2014
    Date of Patent: July 30, 2019
    Assignee: Hanwha Azdel, Inc.
    Inventors: Kumar Kunal, Coray Harper, Mark O Mason, Thomas A Ebeling
  • Deep draw composites and methods of using them
    Patent number: 10059079
    Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein are directed to composite materials effective for use in deep draw processes. In some examples, the composites can be used to provide vehicle panels such as, for example, vehicle underbody panels. In some configurations, the composite comprises a fiber reinforced polymer core and a skin material disposed on at least some portion of the fiber reinforced polymer core, in which the skin material comprises a basis weight of at least 65 g/m2 and an elongation at break of at least 20%.
    Type: Grant
