US Patent:

20130256605, Oct 3, 2013
Filed:

Mar 29, 2012
Appl. No.:

13/433685
Inventors:

Usama E. Younes - McMurray PA, US
Serkan Unal - Istanbul, TR
Eric Giles - Pittsburgh PA, US
Joel Matsco - Coraopolis PA, US
Assignee:

Bayer MaterialScience LLC - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:

H01B 1/04
US Classification:

252511, 4273855, 4273898, 4273935, 427294, 427386, 977752, 977900
Abstract:

Composite materials having a multi-wall carbon nanotube content of from 4 to 15% by weight, based on total weight of the composite, are produced from a dispersion of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and a fiber reinforcing material in a carrier fluid which is processed to form a shaped article that may then be infused with a liquid polymer or polymer-forming mixture to form the composite.

US Patent:

20120159785, Jun 28, 2012
Filed:

Sep 1, 2010
Appl. No.:

13/392967
Inventors:

Robert A. Pyles - Bethel Park PA, US
Joel Matsco - Coraopolis PA, US
Assignee:

BayerMaerialScience LLC - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:

B23P 15/02
US Classification:

298897
Abstract:

The present invention provides processes for the production of polyurethane wind turbine blades and other large objects. The inventive process involves forming a mold for the polyurethane wind turbine blade at a wind farm site, injecting an isocyanate and an isocyanate-reactive component with an automated reaction injection molding (“RIM”) machine into the mold, closing, pressing and heating the mold to cure the resulting polyurethane and installing the polyurethane blade in the wind turbine. Alternatively, the process involves forming a mold for polyurethane wind turbine blade at a wind farm site, injecting an isocyanate, an isocyanate-reactive component and long fibers with an automated long fiber injection (“LFI”) machine, closing, pressing and heating the mold to cure the resulting polyurethane and installing the polyurethane blade in the wind turbine. Because the inventive manufacturing process occurs at the wind farm site, transportation problems are obviated.
