| 20100120968 | WETTING AND SURFACE TENSION REDUCING AGENT - The present invention relates to a surface tension modifier for use in liquid curable composite materials, wherein the modifier is the reaction product between a polyol and an organo-functional silane. The present invention also relates to a method for producing a fibre reinforced composite material, and a fibre reinforced composite material when produced by the method. The method comprises the steps of contacting a plurality of reinforcing fibres with a curable resin mixture and curing the curable resin mixture, wherein the curable resin mixture comprises a curable resin and a predetermined quantity of the surface tension modifier of the invention. The present invention further relates to a method of improving wettability of a resin and use of the surface tension modifier of the invention. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20080286572 | Reinforced Composite Material - The present invention relates to a reinforced composite material and a method for its production. The composite material comprises at least one cured resin having a reinforcing material. Preferably the reinforcing material is a plurality of glass fibres which are treated such that the properties of the interphase substantially surrounding each fibre are substantially equivalent to those of the bulk cured resin. The fibre treatment may be selected from the group consisting of a polymeric coating, a hydrophilic surface coating, a surface coating of a free radical inhibitor, or a reduction in the total surface area of the fibres. The reinforced composite material of the invention provides improved long-term mechanical properties compared to traditional glass fibre reinforced materials. | 11-20-2008 |
