Publication number: 20230160665Abstract: 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 to materials which increases the positive buoyancy of the composites in water.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2023Publication date: May 25, 2023Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: ASHOK BHATNAGAR, TYLER BARTELT, HENRY GERARD ARDIFF, GARY KRATZER, DAVID A. HURST, LORI L. WAGNER

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.

Patent number: 9222864Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for evaluating the backface signature of flat panel ballistic resistant composites with accuracy, repeatability and improved correlation to the expected backface signature of shaped ballistic resistant composites in actual field use. The apparatus separates the composite from a clay backing material with a suitable spacer so that the bulk of the backface deformation is inside an air gap space with minimal clay disturbance, thereby eliminating conventional testing error and producing an accurate test result.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2012Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Ashok Bhatnagar, Henry Gerard Ardiff, David A.
