    Abstract: A rotor for an electric machine includes a rotor body formed from a plurality of stacked laminations defining a first axial end and an opposing second axial end. Each of the plurality of stacked laminations includes a plurality of openings that are aligned so as to define a plurality of passages through the rotor body. A plurality of reinforcement elements extend through the plurality of stacked laminations. Each of the plurality of reinforcement elements is arranged in a corresponding one of the plurality of passages and includes a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion and the second end portion of select ones of the plurality of reinforcement elements extend outwardly of the first axial end and the second axial end.

    Abstract: A rotor for a reluctance machine includes a rotor body having cavities defined by inner surfaces of the rotor body, a filler disposed within the cavities, and an adhesive coating that covalently bonds the filler to the inner surfaces of the rotor body. The adhesive coating exhibits a composite structure including a continuous matrix component and a discontinuous organic component dispersed throughout the matrix component, wherein the matrix component comprises an inorganic siloxane network and the organic component comprises a plurality of organic groups bonded to the inorganic siloxane network. The adhesive coating is formed on the inner surfaces of the rotor body by depositing a precursor composition on the inner surfaces of a rotor body and exposing the precursor composition to a plasma. The precursor composition comprises an organofunctional silane or a hydrolysate thereof.
