Abstract: A curable resin composition contains a curable resin that comprises at least one non-aromatic epoxy compound, at least one non-aromatic oxetane compound, or a mixture thereof, one or more curing agents selected from Lewis acid:Lewis base complexes, and a cure accelerating amount of one or more anhydride compounds. A method accelerating the cure of a curable resin composition, comprising adding a cure accelerating amount of one or more anhydride compounds to a curable resin composition comprising a curable resin that comprises at least one non-aromatic epoxy compound or non-aromatic oxetane compound and a curing agent that comprises one or more Lewis acid-base complexes. The composition and method are useful in making fiber reinforced resin matrix composite articles.

Abstract: A method for producing an assembly of particles bound by a substrate, including: making a compact film of solid particles floating on a carrier liquid, the solid particles potentially holding objects between them; spraying particles onto a face of the compact film opposite to the one immersed in a carrier liquid, to create a substrate-forming-skin adhering to the solid particles; and extracting an obtained assembly outside the carrier liquid.

Abstract: A method for transferring objects onto a substrate, or running substrate, the objects to be transferred being placed in a transfer area containing a carrier liquid forming a conveyor, the objects being held by a compact film of particles floating on the carrier liquid of the transfer area, within which the objects are displaced with the film of particles to be transferred onto the substrate, making at least one connector on at least one of the objects, the connector being made by a substance comprising a polymerizable compound, put in contact with the object arranged within the transfer area, and then by polymerization of the substance.
