Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to fiber reinforced thermoset plastic composites having high temperature stability. This disclosure also relates to methods for making fiber reinforced thermoset plastic composites having high temperature stability.
  • Fiber reinforced thermoset plastic composites enjoy widespread use in diverse applications such as in the construction of aircraft, automobiles, and water craft.
  • Fiber reinforced thermoset plastic composites are typically characterized as materials containing reinforcing fibers embedded in a thermosetting polymer and are generally valued for their high strength-to-weight ratio.
  • the reinforcing fiber is typically fiberglass, although in advanced applications other reinforcements have be used, including high strength and/or fire resistant fibers, such as aramid (for example, NOMEX® and KEVLAR®), graphite, and carbon among others.
  • Thermosetting polymers are typically supplied as liquids or partially polymerized solid molding powders that react during processing to form crosslinked structures that typically cannot be re-melted and/or reprocessed. In their uncrosslinked condition, they can be formed to the finished product shape with or without pressure and crosslinked by various methods including chemical crosslinking and/or crosslinking induced by exposure to an energy source, such as electromagnetic radiation and/or heat.
  • an energy source such as electromagnetic radiation and/or heat.
  • thermoset polymer composites In the last three decades, many in the building, aerospace, marine and transportation industries, and those in fire prevention and insurance businesses, have recognized that many non-metallic products (such as conventional thermoset polymer composites) pose serious fire, toxicity, and thermal stability problems. Aerospace grade epoxies, commonly used for commercial aerospace applications, even encounter serious thermal limitations at continuous operating temperatures of about 250 0 C and above. This often necessitates the need for additional thermal barrier protection in lieu of the unavailability of thermoset polymer composites with greater thermal stability and desirable mechanical characteristics. New generations of organic polymeric materials, such as benzoxazines, BMI, cyanate esters, PEEKTM, phthalonitriles and polyimides developed for moderately high temperature applications.
  • Ceramic matrix materials are valued for their mechanical stability at high- temperature, and they are an obvious choice for applications where a material will be exposed to elevated temperatures for any length of time, for example as a component in a jet engine. In some examples, ceramic materials have the ability to withstand extreme temperatures, such as temperatures exceeding 1,600 0 C.
  • Ceramic particles are very hard and abrasive and the fibers that are utilized to reinforce such composites often are broken during processing. Fiber breakage is detrimental to the integrity of the final composite and can, in some instances, result in a composite exhibiting mechanical properties inferior to the unreinforced ceramic.
  • a characteristic of ceramic materials is that they typically require a high temperature pyrolysis step during manufacture, such as pyrolysis at a temperature greater than 1,000 0 C, and thus necessitate the use of costly ovens or kilns. Pyrolysis often results in products that contain voids or other defects such as shrinkage, which may require expensive post fabrication tooling. In addition, the ceramic yields are typically very low and the resulting articles require a large number of infiltration cycles to obtain a part with acceptable porosity levels.
  • thermoset polymeric composites are generally preferred in applications wherein additional protective measures can be taken to keep the composites from thermal degradation.
  • thermoset plastic composite that combines the high strength-to-weight ratio of a thermoset plastic composite with the heat resistance of a ceramic composite.
  • present disclosure solves this need by providing fiber reinforced thermoset plastic composites with high mechanical strength that are capable of maintaining integrity under thermal stress.

Accordingly, fiber reinforced thermoset plastic composites with exceptional thermal tolerance are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of making such composites.

  • Crosslinking is normally at ambient temperatures, but may be accelerated by heating or the addition of crosslink initiators, if desired.
  • reinforcing fibers such as reinforcing mat or woven fabric or roving is positioned manually into a single-sided open mold, and pre-ceramic resin is poured, brushed, or sprayed over and into the fibers.
  • Pre-ceramic resin can be forced through the thickness of the fiber mats using hand rollers.
  • entrapped air and/or excess pre-ceramic resin is removed manually with squeegees or rollers to complete the structure. The part is allowed to crosslink and then disassembled from the mold. Since this process is not typically performed under the influences of heat and pressure, simple equipment and tooling can be employed.
  • Vacuum bag molding a refinement of hand lay-up, uses a vacuum to eliminate entrapped air and excess pre-ceramic resin. After the lay-up is fabricated on either a male or a female mold form, a non-adhering film typically is placed over the lay-up and sealed at the mold flange. A vacuum is drawn on the bag formed by the film while the composite is crosslinked at room or elevated temperatures. Compared to hand lay-up, the vacuum method provides higher reinforcement concentrations, better adhesion between layers, and more control over resin/fiber ratios.
  • Resin transfer molding also known as resin-injection process, is a closed-mold pressure injection system.
  • the process uses pre-ceramic resin and is compatible with most reinforcement material types such as continuous strand, cloth, woven roving, long fiber and chopped strand amongst others.

  • Filament winding typically produces hollow items like tubes, pipes, elbows, tanks, vessels.
  • Fiber reinforcement is generally single-end rovings disposed on a creel.
  • filament winding uses pre- impregnated filaments.
  • "Full bath” or “transfer roller” systems impregnate and control the amount of resin on the filament strand. Impregnated strands are therefore accurately wound in several layers on the rotative mandrel with an automated filament winding machine. After this wet winding step, the mandrel wrapped with the composite structure is crosslinked while in rotation. Once crosslinked resin polymerization has been completed and the mandrel is removed. The mandrel may sometimes be kept in the final composite item ("liner" part).
  • Filament winding applications can also be used to produce the disclosed fiber reinforced composites having braided fiber structures.
  • a unique feature of the braiding process is its ability to combine continuous fibers in an oriented pattern over a mandrel of nearly any shape or size.
  • the braiding process creates an interlaced structure of continuous fibers, providing stability to the preform and desirable strength-to-weight properties in the final part. Formation of the braid under tension produces compaction of plies and eliminates the potential for wrinkling and pinching.
