Abstract: A tool and a method for forming a tool are disclosed. The tool has a base layer additively formed from a polymer material in a desired tool shape. In addition, a sealant layer is formed over an outer surface the base layer. The sealant is a low-modulus material such as a silicone rubber or an elastomer. In one embodiment, the sealant is made electrically conductive by the addition of a filler to the low-modulus material. The filler material may be one of carbon black, carbon fibers, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and metallic whiskers, for example. In another embodiment, the sealant is not electrically conductive and an electrically conductive layer is formed over the sealant layer. Finally, a metallic coating, preferably multilayer, is formed over the sealant layer by electroplating or electrodeposition.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a composite may include: selecting an interlayer material having a first distortional-deformation capability; selecting a matrix material having a second distortional-deformation capability, which is less than the first distortional-deformation capability; disposing at least one reinforcing layer, formed of reinforcing fibers of a reinforcing material, and at least one interlayer, formed of a nonwoven fabric of the interlayer material, in an alternating configuration; and infusing the at least one reinforcing layer and the at least one interlayer with the matrix material such that the matrix material flows though the at least one reinforcing layer and the at least one interlayer. Selection of the interlayer material having the first distortional-deformation capability and the matrix material having the second distortional-deformation capability is configured to increase tensile strength of the composite.

Abstract: Polyimides containing a backbone with at least one nanoparticle component and made from oligomers having endcaps that are difunctional or a mix of di- and monofunctionality are provided. The endcaps may be nadic or phenylethynyl. The backbone may be wholly inorganic or made from a mixture of inorganic and organic groups. The oligomers may be created in-situ using standard polymerization of monomeric reactants chemistry using a solvent or may be provided as a pre-imidized compound that may be either a solid or liquid. It is believed that the nanoparticle component of the polymer backbone provides superior thermo-oxidative stability verses unmodified organic backbones. It is further believed that providing difunctional or a mixture of di- and monofunctional endcaps allows for increased crosslinking to provide improved strength and stiffness verses wholly monofunctional endcapped oligomers for polyimides. The nanoparticle is part of the backbone of the polymer and not solely a pendant group.

Abstract translation: 提供含有具有至少一个纳米颗粒组分并由具有双官能的端帽或具有二官能度和单官能团的混合物的寡聚物制成的骨架的聚酰亚胺。 端帽可以是天然或苯基乙炔基。 骨架可以是完全无机的或由无机和有机基团的混合物制成。 可以使用溶剂的单体反应物化学的标准聚合原位产生低聚物，或者可以提供为可以是固体或液体的预酰亚胺化化合物。 据信聚合物骨架的纳米颗粒组分提供了与未改性的有机骨架相当的优异的热氧化稳定性。 进一步认为，提供二官能或双官能末端封端的混合物允许增加交联以提供改进的强度和刚度与聚酰亚胺的全部单官能封端的低聚物。 纳米颗粒是聚合物骨架的一部分，而不仅仅是侧基。
