  • Patent number: 11453518
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reinforcing physical structures with composite reinforcement systems are disclosed herein. According to aspects of the present disclosure, a composite reinforcement system includes a carrier formed of a plurality of fibers and a blend of at least two reagents impregnated within the carrier. The at least two reagents are chemically configured to react to form a moisture-curable prepolymer. One reagent of the at least two reagents is an isocyanate, and another reagent of the at least two reagents is an aromatic-group-containing polyol.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10953625
    Abstract: A composite system for the reinforcement of physical structures includes a plurality of unidirectional fibers arranged with respective longitudinal axes generally parallel to each other over a substantial portion of a length of each unidirectional fiber. The plurality of unidirectional fibers are non-mechanically connected. A resinous material adheres the plurality of unidirectional fibers to each other such that each one of the plurality of unidirectional fiber is adhered to at least one adjacent one of the plurality of unidirectional fibers along a substantial portion of the length of the adjacent one of the plurality unidirectional fibers.

  • Patent number: 10266292
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reinforcing structures with composite reinforcement systems are disclosed herein. According to aspects of the present disclosure, a carrier of a composite reinforcement system for repairing and/or reinforcing a physical structure is disclosed. The carrier includes a plurality of carbon fibers. Each carbon fiber has a longitudinal axis and a length extending in a generally 0 degree direction. The carrier further includes at least one fiberglass fiber having a longitudinal axis and a length extending in a generally 90 degree direction across the plurality of carbon fibers. The plurality of carbon fibers constitute at least about 70 wt % of the carrier and the at least one fiberglass fiber constitutes at most about 30 wt % of the carrier.

  • Publication number: 20150068633
    Abstract: A composite system for reinforcing a section of a curved metallic structure configured to contain fluids comprises a fabric carrier configured to be saturated with a uniformly dispersed reactive precursor. The reactive precursor chemically configured to activate and harden after removal of the reactive precursor from a protective packaging. The reactive precursor includes a radiopaque substance within a range of about 3 percent to about 50 percent by weight of the reactive precursor. The fabric carrier is adapted to be applied in overlapping layers to a surface of a curved metallic structure.
