Abstract:
A method a forming a resin compatible fabric (210) includes: (A) forming a fabric with a plurality of fiber strands, wherein at least one of the plurality of fiber strands includes a plurality of fibers and at least one of the plurality of fibers includes an at least partial coating (214) having at least one starch material with at least one hydroxyl group; (B) breaking a bond between a hydrogen atom of a hydroxyl group of a first starch molecule of the at least one starch material with an oxygen atom of a second starch molecule of the at least one starch material to form at least one unreacted hydroxyl group on the first starch molecule; and (C) reacting at least one functional group of a second material with the at least one unreacted hydroxyl group of the at least one starch material to form a grafted starch material after interweaving.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an electronic support (10) comprising: (A) at least one woven fiber reinforcement material (20) formed from at least one fiber free of basalt glass; and (B) at least one matrix material (16) in contact with at least a portion of the at least one reinforcement material (20), the at least one matrix material (16) comprising at least one non-fluorinated polymer and at least one inorganic filler (18), wherein the at least one inorganic filler (18) comprises at least one non-hydratable, lamellar inorganic solid lubricant having a high electrical resistivity and wherein the at least one inorganic filler (18) comprises at least 6 weight percent of a total combined weight of the at least one inorganic filler (18) and the at least one matrix material (16) on a total solids basis.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a mat adapted to reinforce a thermosetting matrix material to form a composite, composites formed therefrom, and methods related thereto. The mat includes a primary, supporting layer having a plurality of randomly oriented essentially continuous glass fiber strands. The primary layer has about 1 to about 10 weight percent of the mat on a total solids basis. The mat also includes a secondary layer positioned upon and supported by a surface of the primary layer, the secondary layer including a plurality of glass fiber strands. The mean average length of the glass fiber strands of the secondary layer ranges from about 20 to about 125 millimeters. The strands of the primary layer are entangled with the strands of the secondary layer by needling the primary layer and the secondary layer together.
