  • Patent number: 6655001
    Abstract: A diaphragm for an electroacoustic transducer has a) a core layer containing poly(meth)acrylimide foam and b) at least one cover layer. The diaphragm is produced by laminating the cover layer with the core layer, using a pressure of 0.4 MPa and a temperature of 160° C., whereby at least the side of the core layer which comes into contact with the cover layer is compressed. The resultant composite is subsequently cooled to a temperature below 80° C., before the pressure is reduced to the ambient pressure. The process can be carried out as a single-step process. The diaphragms produced by this process demonstrate an excellent stability, whereby the cover layers in particular are highly resistant to separation.

  • Patent number: 4316934
    Abstract: What is disclosed is a method for making a laminate comprising a hard foam layer and a fiber-reinforced synthetic resin layer, which method comprises heating and compressing, in two steps, at least one layer of a high-temperature resistant hard foam and at least one layer of a fiber-containing synthetic resin capable of flowing and of hardening when heated, wherein in a first step, the temperature and pressure employed are sufficient for initiating flow of the synthetic resin and are applied until the synthetic resin has completed flowing, said pressure having a value exceeding the compressive strength of the foam at the temperature employed but not exceeding its compressive strength at room temperature and, wherein in a second step, at a temperature and for a time sufficient to complete hardening of the synthetic resin, pressure is applied which does not exceed the compressive strength of the foam at the temperature used.
