  • Patent number: 7799710
    Abstract: A foamed composite armor laminate comprising interleaved combinations of ballistic resistant fabrics, and ceramic and/or metallic plates or sheets in a polymeric foam matrix. The foamed composite armor can be fabricated by inserting polymer powder or sheets between layers of fabric and/or ceramic or metallic sheets to form a laminated structure, heating this laminated structure under pressure to form a consolidated panel, and then foaming the polymeric portion of the consolidated panel in an autoclave or pressure vessel by saturating the polymeric portion with inert gas at elevated temperature, rapidly releasing the pressure and controllably cooling the laminated structure to ambient. Alternatively, pre-foamed panels can be laminated to fabric, ceramic and/or metallic sheets using adhesives or the like. Through proper selection of the various elements of the laminate, i.e.

  • Publication number: 20100187039
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sandwich panel includes, but is not limited to the steps of providing at least one air-permeable core layer and at least one porous cover layer, applying an adhesive onto a first area of the core layer, pressing the cover layer onto the first area of the core layer to connect the cover layer to the core layer, and applying an airstream that from the outside is directed onto the cover layer and that moves through the cover layer and the core layer. By means of such an airstream it is possible to prevent excessive accumulation of adhesive on the cover layer, which otherwise would result in partial blocking of the cover layer. By varying the intensity of the airstream the flow resistance of the arrangement including, but not limited to, the cover layer and the core layer may be determined and set during the bonding process. In this way a sandwich panel with precise sound-absorption behavior can be manufactured.

  • Publication number: 20090041963
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a gas barrier resin composition that is excellent in oxygen absorbability and further excellent in adhesiveness to olefin resins, a structure comprising the same, and a multi-layer structure comprising the same. [Means for Dissolution] The oxygen-absorbing gas barrier resin composition comprises a cyclized product of a conjugated diene polymer and an ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer having a specified oxygen permeation rate. The oxygen-absorbing gas barrier resin composition further comprises an ?-olefin resin. The oxygen-absorbing gas barrier structure is obtained by molding the subject oxygen-absorbing gas barrier resin composition. The oxygen-absorbing gas barrier multi-layer structure comprises a layer of the subject oxygen-absorbing gas barrier structure and a sealing material layer.

  • Patent number: 7488696
    Abstract: An air-permeable composite fabric is provided. The composite fabric has an inner fabric layer, an outer fabric layer, and an intermediate vapor barrier. The vapor barrier is selected from adhesive material and an adhesive/membrane combination designed so the composite fabric has a level of air permeability to allow air flow between the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer and a variable level of water vapor diffusion resistance that decreases as air speed impinging on the composite fabric increases.

  • Publication number: 20090011217
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for applying a porous glass layer. It is proposed to apply a porous glass layer by means of a PVD method. Porosity factor and average pore size can be varied by means of the process parameters such as pressure and deposition rate, as well as by deliberate addition of extrinsic substances.
