Abstract
Systems and methods for manufacturing laser-perforated nanoreinforced materials are disclosed. A honeycomb core may utilize a perforated top sheet and a microperforated overlay film coupled to the perforated top sheet. The perforated top sheet and/or the microperforated film may include thermally conductive nanomaterials. The perforations in the top sheet and the microperforations in the film may be laser drilled. The nanomaterials may dissipate heat generated by the laser drilling, allowing for increased perforation speeds.
Claims8
A method of manufacturing an acoustic structure comprising:
- drilling a first plurality of holes in an overlay film, wherein the overlay film comprises nanoparticles;
- drilling a second plurality of holes in a composite substrate;
- and
- coupling the overlay film to the composite substrate.
