Abstract: A geopolymer composite material includes a geopolymer resin, a fibrous reinforcement material embedded in the geopolymer resin for reinforcing the geopolymer resin, and a protective coating material covering the fibrous reinforcement material embedded in the geopolymer resin to provide a coated fibrous reinforcement material. Further, the geopolymer resin and the coated fibrous reinforcement material are combined together to form a prepreg containing the geopolymer resin being pre-impregnated into the coated fibrous reinforcement material and being curable into a solid matrix.

Abstract: A turbine engine comprising a compressor section, combustor section, and turbine section in serial flow arrangement, and defining an engine longitudinal axis. The turbine engine includes an airfoil with an outer wall having a pressure side and a suction side, extending between a root and a tip in a span-wise direction, and extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge in a chord-wise direction. The airfoil includes a woven core, a first bonding layer including a toughened region, and a laminate skin provided exterior of the first bonding layer and bonded to the woven core by the first bonding layer.

Abstract: A component for a gas turbine engine. The component includes a continuous fiber blade including an airfoil extending radially between a root and a tip and a blade attachment feature positioned at or adjacent to the root. The component further includes a platform coupled to the root of the continuous fiber blade. The platform includes a plurality of chopped fibers. Additionally, the component includes a thermoplastic polymer contained in both the continuous fiber blade and the platform. Moreover, the continuous fiber blade and platform are coupled together such that the continuous fiber blade and platform form a monolithic composite body.

Abstract: An airfoil structure is presented. The airfoil structure includes an outer casing substantially surrounding a composite core. The composite core includes a plurality of fiber bands, each of the plurality of fiber bands is placed at a predetermined position and orientation at a time, wherein the plurality of fiber bands are interwoven in an in-plane and out-of-plane orientation by interleaving each of the plurality of fiber bands placed in a plane with one or more of the plurality of fiber bands of an adjacent plane to define an interleaved structure. A method for manufacturing an airfoil structure including the composite core is also presented.
