Patent number: 10717251Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of repairing a composite structure comprising fiber-reinforced polymer plies each with unidirectional fibers. The method comprises removing a damaged portion of the composite structure to form a void in the composite structure. The method also comprises positioning an adhesive layer into the void. The method further comprises positioning a first nanotube sheet ply and a first fiber-reinforced polymer repair ply into the void, by first positioning one of the first nanotube sheet ply or the first fiber-reinforced polymer repair ply into the void over the adhesive layer. The first nanotube sheet ply is fiberless and the first fiber-reinforced polymer repair ply comprises unidirectional fibers.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2019Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventor: Zeaid F.

Patent number: 10631404Abstract: Elongated, ultra-high conductivity electrical conductors for use in advanced electronic components and vehicles, and methods for producing the same, are disclosed herein. The elongated electrical conductors include a conductor body that defines a longitudinal axis. The conductor body includes an isotropically conductive matrix material and a plurality of anisotropically conductive particles interspersed within the isotropically conductive matrix material. Each anisotropically conductive particle defines a respective axis of enhanced electrical conductivity that is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the conductor body. The methods include providing a bulk matrix-particle composite that includes the isotropically conductive matrix material and the plurality of anisotropically conductive particles.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2017Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Daniel Joseph Braley, John Huntley Belk, Zeaid F. Hasan, Minas H. Tanielian
