    Abstract: A method of fabricating a composite structure having a conductive surface is disclosed herein. The composite structure is formed by laminating a self-surfacing, conductive prepreg to one or prepreg plies or tapes to form a layup. The self-surfacing, conductive prepreg comprises a conductive surfacing film with a conductivity of less than 20 milliOhms formed on at least one surface of a prepreg ply or tape. Furthermore, the self-surfacing, conductive prepreg is suitable for use in an Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) process.

  • Patent number: 8136236
    Abstract: Corrosion resistant coaxial cable. In one example embodiment, a method for manufacturing a coaxial cable includes various steps. First, a dielectric is extruded around a center conductor. Next, the dielectric is surrounded with an outer conductor. Then, a corrosion-inhibiting composition is applied to the outer conductor. Finally, the outer conductor is surrounded with a jacket. The corrosion-inhibiting composition includes a synthetic sulfonate salt dispersed in a paraffinic mineral oil. The synthetic sulfonate salt is present in the composition in an amount of from about 5% to about 10% by weight. The paraffinic mineral oil is present in the composition in an amount of from about 90% to about 95% by weight.

    Abstract: A flexible multi-conductor cable and a method of manufacturing a flexible multi-conductor cable, wherein the cable is adapted for use, particularly, in a mechanical cable track type lifting device. The cable includes two or more insulated conductors surrounded by a dual layer jacket. The dual layer jacket includes an inner layer having a TPE material with a higher tensile modulus, and an outer layer having a TPE material with a lower tensile modulus. The material of the cable is selected so that the cable is capable of surviving the external physical requirements of a mechanical cable track, as well as to prevent the transfer of the wiping effect onto the conductors.
