Abstract
The present invention relates to thermoset resin fibre components, composite materials including thermoset resin fibre components, composite articles manufactured using such composite materials and methodologies for manufacturing same. The thermoset resin fibre components may include a single fibre of thermoset resin or a plurality of fibres commingled together. The properties and characteristics of the thermoset resin used are chosen according to the material to be produced therefrom. The thermoset fibre components may be woven into reinforcement fibres to form prepregs. Thermoplastic fibres may be commingled and co-woven with the thermoset fibre components.
Claims50
A composite material in the form of a thread or yarn comprising a curable thermoset resin fibre component and a non-reinforcing fibre component.
A resin structure comprising a thermoset resin fibre layer comprising curable thermoset resin fibres that are woven or randomly oriented to at least partially form said layer.
A method of manufacturing a composite article, comprising subjecting a curable thermoset resin fibre component to cure conditions to fully or partially cure the component.
A method of making a composite material comprising the step of commingling a curable thermoset fibre component with a non-reinforcing fibre component.
