A hardened material of a polymer component of the thermally conductive adhesive layers on the first and second surfaces has a thermal conductivity of 0.6 W/m·K or more.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2009Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: Fuji Polymer Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masakazu Hattori, Yoshihiro Fukui, Hajime Funahashi, Eiichi Natsume

Patent number: 8268107Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for providing a fly away caul plate are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method for curing a composite structure includes placing a pre-cured caul plate proximate an uncured composite lay-up, the lay-up may or may not include one or more stiffeners extending substantially perpendicular to the lay-up surface, the caul plate including an aperture for receiving the at least one stiffener. A force may be exerted against the caul plate to engage the composite lay-up. Heat and/or pressure may be applied to the composite lay-up to cure the stiffener panel and co-bond the caul plate to the composite lay-up.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2007Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Thomas A. Albertson, Karl R. Bernetich, Robert J. Freeman
