  • Patent number: 11837832
    Abstract: A composite material structure that prevents occurrence of galvanic corrosion while exposing a part of a conductor embedded in a conductive resin portion as a connecting portion, is provided. The composite material structure includes a conductive resin portion formed of an electrically conductive reinforced resin in which conductive fibers are contained in a base material, a conductor formed of a conductive material and embedded in the conductive resin portion with a part of the conductor exposed as a connecting portion for electrical connection with another component, and an insulator that is formed of an insulating material and that is at least partially embedded in the conductive resin portion so as to be interposed between the conductive reinforced resin and the conductor so as to prevent the connecting portion of the conductor from contacting the conductive reinforced resin.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220001633
    Abstract: A composite material structure that prevents a decrease in strength while interposing insulating resin portions between a conductive reinforced resin and a conductor, is provided. The composite material structure includes a conductive resin portion formed of an electrically conductive reinforced resin in which conductive fibers are contained in an insulating base material, a conductor which is formed of an electrically conductive material and a part of which is embedded in the conductive resin portion, and a plurality of layers of insulating resin portions which is layers of resin portions each including insulating fibers contained in an insulating base material, the plurality of layers of the insulating resin portions being embedded in the conductive resin portion so as to sandwich therebetween the at least the part of the conductor and so as to be interposed between the conductive fibers and the conductor.

  • Patent number: 10753854
    Abstract: The high selectivity corrosion sensor system includes: a sensor group including at least one selected from SPR sensors whose sensor surfaces have metallic thin films made of different materials, SPR sensors whose sensor surfaces have functional films made of different materials, and LSPR sensors including different metallic fine particles; a light projector projecting light toward the sensors; a detector detecting, as signal intensities, light beams being from the sensors and corresponding to the light beam intensities; a database in which information on corrosion of a subject metal is accumulated; and an analyzer analyzing a degree of corrosion of the subject metal by pattern recognition based on the signal intensities from the detector and the information in the database.
