  • Composites with interphases and methods of making the same
    Patent number: 6284372
    Abstract: A composite having fibers of relatively high elastic modulus embedded in a matrix of relatively low elastic modulus is provided with an interphase of elastic modulus less than the matrix modulus and cohesive energy higher than the matrix cohesive energy. The resulting composite has enhanced strength and toughness.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 18, 1994
    Date of Patent: September 4, 2001
    Assignee: Exxon Research and Engineering Co.
    Inventors: Liza M. Monette, Arnold Lustiger, Michael P. Anderson, John P. Dismukes, H. Daniel Wagner, Cary N. Marzinsky, Russell R. Mueller
  • Composite structures having improved containment strength
    Patent number: 6240971
    Abstract: Composite fiber reinforced structures, such as pipes or storage tanks, having improved resistance to microcracking and delamination and improved containment strength are disclosed. The walls of the structures comprise at least one layer comprising a plurality of continuous reinforcing glass fibers having an average diameter of ≦about 10 microns impregnated in a resinous binder such as a thermoset epoxy resin.
    Type: Grant
