Publication number: 20170297295Abstract: A process for forming defect-free fibrous composite materials. More particularly, a process for forming blister-free fibrous composites without having to actively monitor or control blister formation during molding of a stack of plies, and to blister-free composite materials fabricated therefrom. Fibrous plies are coated with a dry, particulate binder without impregnating the plies with the binder. Gaps between fibers/tapes allow air to diffuse out of the stack without affecting the binder coating, thereby avoiding blister formation.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2017Publication date: October 19, 2017Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: ASHOK BHATNAGAR, GARY KRATZER, TYLER BARTELT, LORI L. WAGNER, HENRY GERARD ARDIFF, DAVID A. HURST

Publication number: 20170299339Abstract: Ballistic resistant composite materials having high positive buoyancy in water are provided. More particularly, provided are foam-free, buoyant composite materials fabricated using dry processing techniques. The materials comprise fibrous plies that are partially coated with a particulate binder that is thermopressed to transform a portion of the binder into raised, discontinuous patches bonded to fiber/tape surfaces, while another portion of the particulate binder remains on the fibers/tapes as unmelted particles. The presence of the unmelted binder particles maintains empty spaces within the composite materials which increases the positive buoyancy of the composites in water.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2017Publication date: October 19, 2017Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: ASHOK BHATNAGAR, TYLER BARTELT, HENRY GERARD ARDIFF, GARY KRATZER, DAVID A.

Publication number: 20170080678Abstract: Low porosity fibrous materials, articles formed therefrom and processes for their formation. Multiple plies of high tenacity, multifilament elongate bodies are optionally stitched together and pressed as a set without being laminated, adhered or thermally fused to each other. Pressing spreads the component filaments of the elongate bodies, forcing the filaments to occupy spaces between adjacent fibers and thereby reducing porosity of the complete multi-ply material.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2016Publication date: March 23, 2017Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: ASHOK BHATNAGAR, HUY XUAN NGUYEN, LORI L.
