Abstract
A flexible fiber-reinforced composite material is manufactured by impregnating a fiber reinforcement material with a non-epoxy matrix material. Subsequently, the impregnated fiber reinforcement material is dried and cured, resulting in a flexible fiber-reinforced composite material that exhibits a tensile modulus between 10 MPa and 42 MPa at 20 percent elongation.
Claims14
A method of manufacturing a flexible fiber-reinforced composite material comprising:
- impregnating a fiber fabric reinforcement material with a non-epoxy matrix material;
- and
- curing the impregnated fiber fabric reinforcement material, the cured impregnated fiber fabric reinforcement material exhibiting a tensile modulus between 10 MPa and 42 MPa when a sample of the cured impregnated fiber fabric reinforcement material, measuring four inches in length and one inch in width, is elongated, longitudinally, by 20 percent of the length of the sample.
A method of manufacturing a flexible fiber-reinforced composite material comprising:
- impregnating one side of a fiber fabric reinforcement material with a first non-epoxy matrix material;
- curing the fiber fabric reinforcement material a first time;
- impregnating the opposite side of the fiber fabric reinforcement material with a second non-epoxy material;
- and
- curing the fiber fabric reinforcement material a second time, the cured fiber fabric reinforcement material exhibiting a tensile modulus between 10 MPa and 42 MPa when a sample of the cured fiber fabric reinforcement material, measuring four inches in length and one inch in width, is elongated, longitudinally, by 20 percent of the length of the sample.
