| 20080255332 | Method For Enhancing Adherence of Carbon Fibers With Respect to an Organic Matrix - The invention relates to a process for improving the adhesion of carbon fibres with regard to an organic matrix forming a composite material with these fibres, this composite material being obtained by bringing the fibres into contact with a resin which can be cured by chain polymerization and then polymerizing the resin, which process is characterized in that it comprises the grafting, to the surface of the fibres, before they are brought into contact with the resin, of groups capable of acting as chain transfer agents during the polymerization of said resin. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090075091 | RIGIDIFICATION OF STRUCTURES TO BE DEPLOYED BY INFLATING, PARTICULARLY FOR USE IN SPACE - The invention relates to the stiffening of inflatably deployable structures, in particular for space use. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090133823 | METHOD FOR IMPROVING MECHANICAL STRENGTH OF BONDINGS MADE WITH AN ADHESIVE BASED ON CURABLE RESIN BY CHAIN POLYMERIZATION - The invention relates to a process that makes it possible to improve the mechanical strength of bonds between substrates when these bonds are produced by means of an adhesive that comprises a resin that can be cured by chain polymerization, and in particular a resin that can be cured under the effect of ionizing or light radiation. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090200427 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR DEPLOYMENT OF INFLATABLE STRUCTURES - The invention relates to a device for controlling the deployment of an inflatable structure including, in the non-deployed state, a flexible tube ( | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090211188 | MULTILAYERED WALL ESPECIALLY CONSISTING OF GOSSAMER-TYPE INFLATABLE STRUCTURES - A multilayer wall includes Gossamer-type rigidifiable and inflatable structures, the wall including a layer of a composite material that can be rigidified by polymerisation, and is flanked, on the inside, by a gas-impermeable layer, and, on the outside, by at least one anti-adhesion and protection layer. The multilayer wall is characterised in that the external layer is partially permeable to gas and impermeable to liquid or viscous phases of the matrix of the composite material. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100092695 | PROCESS FOR IMPROVING THE ADHESION OF CARBON FIBRES WITH REGARD TO AN ORGANIC MATRIX - The present invention relates to a process which makes it possible to improve the adhesion of carbon fibres with regard to an organic matrix forming, with these fibres, a composite material, this composite material being obtained by bringing the fibres into contact with a resin which can be cured by chain polymerization, followed by polymerization of the resin, which process consists in coating the surface of the carbon fibres, before these fibres are brought into contact with the resin, with a polymer film which comprises functional groups capable of acting as chain transfer agents during the polymerization of said resin. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100166988 | ASSEMBLY OF PREPREGS FOR PRODUCING STRUCTURES, FOR EXAMPLE ONES WHICH DEPLOY THROUGH INFLATION - The invention relates to a method of assembling pre-impregnated plies by local isolated polymerization of the assembly region ( | 07-01-2010 |
| 20110207378 | USE OF POLYMERISABLE RESINS WITH LOW VACUUM OUTGASSING FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS FOR USE IN SPACE - A method of using at least one polymerisable resin R1 is disclosed. According to some aspects, the resin R1 is selected from the group consisting of epoxidised polybutadiene resins, epoxidised polyisoprene resins, epoxidised polysiloxane resins, epoxidised triglyceride resins and epoxidised polyether resins. The resin R1 having at the non-polymerised state a total mass loss (TML) value lower than about 10%, a recovered mass loss (RML) value lower than about 10%, and a collected volatile condensable material (CVCM) value lower than about 1%, as determined in accordance with standard ECSS-Q-70-02A of the European Space Agency. The resin R1 also characterized by an epoxide equivalent weight of about 100 to 600 g/mole. The resin is configured for the manufacture of a composite material for use in space, and more specifically, a composite material of a Gossamer structure. Polymerisable resin compositions are also disclosed which are useful in the manufacture of composite materials for use in space. | 08-25-2011 |
