US Patent:

47029560, Oct 27, 1987

Filed:

Dec 12, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/808201

Inventors:

George S. Wilson - Ringwood NJ
Harvey E. Kline - Succasunna NJ
Joseph E. Mackey - East Hanover NJ

Assignee:

Ausimont, U.S.A., Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

B32B 700

US Classification:

428251

Abstract:

The surface of a molten polymer is treated with a flame as the polymer is extruded; the polymer is co-calendered with a substrate as a fibrous web immediately downstream from the extruder and the flame. Articles so treated exhibit superior bond strengths. In one embodiment, both the polymer and the web are treated with a flame prior to the step of co-calendering.

US Classification:

156181

Abstract:

This invention is directed to a process of forming composites comprising reinforcing fibers dispersed in a thermoplastic polymer matrix, said process comprising the steps of coating a reinforcing fiber with a curable resin and an initiator for the curing of the resin and for the polymerization of monomer of said polymer; curing said resin to form cured resin coated fiber; coating said resin coated fiber with monomer of said polymer; polymerizing the monomer coating to form a polymer/resin coated fiber; and aligning the polymer/resin coated fiber and molding same into a desired reinforced thermoplastic composite.
