Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a diverting system to be used in a combined-cycle power plant. According to the invention, the diverting system is integrated within the by-pass stack and carries out, in a sole component, the functions of by-passing the hot exhaust flow in a single-cycle configuration or guiding it through the HRSG, acting as a diffusor, in an open combined-cycle configuration.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multilayer structural component (84, 110, 120, 170) comprising a first and a second fibre-composite layer (102, 104, 122, 124, 172, 174) and a foam layer (106, 126, 176), arranged in between, made of foamed plastics material, wherein the first and the second fibre-composite layer (102, 104, 122, 124, 172, 174) each have at least one fibrous layer (4, 16, 18, 24) made of a fibre material, said fibrous layer being embedded in a thermoplastic-based matrix (8, 20). The structural component has an anchoring structure (140) for attaching to a force introduction element.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for producing composite materials containing as a first layer a foamed thermoplastic support and as a second layer polyurethane (PU), the resulting composite materials being characterized by improved foam adhesion, wherein (i) a foamed polycarbonate molding composition is produced by injection molding using chemical or physical foaming techniques, and (ii) the polyurethane reaction system is applied on top and allowed to cure. The disclosure also provides the composite systems produced by this method and their use as a component, in particular in the automotive sector.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of a composite component, comprising a) a support of a thermoplastic composition, and b) at least one polyurethane layer in direct contact with the support. The process involves (i) in a first process step the melt of the thermoplastic composition is injected into a first mould cavity and is subsequently cooled, the thermoplastic composition comprising: A) 65.0 to 90.0 parts by wt., based on the sum of components A and B, of at least one polymer chosen from the group of aromatic polycarbonates, aromatic polyester carbonates and aromatic polyesters, B) 10.0 to 35.0 parts by wt., based on the sum of components A and B, of an optionally rubber-modified vinyl (co)polymer and C) 0 to 30.0 parts by wt.
