Publication number: 20140087616Abstract: A system for providing improved flexible-composite materials, equipment, and manufacturing processes including improved flexible composite materials is disclosed. In various embodiments, a method of manufacturing a flexible laminate composite can comprise performing surface-energy modification on a low-surface-energy fabric, and coating the low-surface-energy fabric with an adhesive. The method can further include at least partially curing the adhesive to the low-surface-energy fabric. The at least partially curing may use at least one of heated rolls, ovens, vacuum ovens, using light, infrared, autoclaving, or ultraviolet curing. Moreover, the method can produce a flexible laminate composite that is fully or substantially impregnated with adhesive material. A flexible laminate composite can comprise a low-surface-energy fabric subjected to a surface-energy modification, and an adhesive material impregnated within the low-surface-energy fabric.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2013Publication date: March 27, 2014Inventors: Christopher Michael Adams, Wesley Edward Hatcher, Keith Joel McDaniels
