Abstract: A method of forming a fiber-reinforced molding compound. The method includes establishing a melt stream of a source material including a first polymeric material having a first melt temperature in an extruder and dosing a composite material into the melt stream. The composite material includes pre-impregnated reinforcing fibers comprising reinforcing filaments and a second polymeric material having a second melt temperature greater than the first melt temperature. The composite material has at least 30% of the reinforcing filaments protected by the polymeric material such that the polymeric material surrounds each filament completely forming a barrier between it and an adjacent filament in the at least 30% of the filaments. The temperature of the melt stream at dosing is below the second melt temperature. The method includes forming a molding compound from the source and composite materials. The method includes dispensing the molding compound to produce a part.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for producing isotropized “ready-to-use” polymer pellets or granules that contain completely or substantially relaxed matrix molecules and entangled organic nanofibrils with long aspect ratios that will provide superior properties for the products without high cost. These pellets are cost-effectively produced using industrial-scale fiber spinning or melt-blowing/spun-bond equipment followed by an isotropizing pelletizer. These pellets enable one to mass-produce the micro-fibrillar or nanofibrillar composites with superior mechanical properties, because they are readily usable (“ready-to-use”) for industry-scale mass production systems with a very high throughput over 1000 kg/hr. The organic nanofibrils are well dispersed and entangled in the polymer matrix and have a long aspect ratio ranging hundreds to thousands, to tens of thousands. The nanofibrils are entangled with each other to have proper rheological properties for film or foam processing, and to have good mechanical properties of the final products.

The method includes establishing a melt stream of a source material including a first polymeric material and dosing a composite material into the melt stream. The composite material includes pre-impregnated reinforcing fibers and a second polymeric material. The method further includes forming a molding compound from the source and composite materials and dispensing the molding compound from the extruder. The first and second polymeric materials are different than each other to introduce a functionality into the molding compound that is not present in the second polymeric material. The method further includes using the molding compound to produce a part.

Abstract: A method for making a thermoplastic material includes: (a) partially crosslinking an elastomer composition at a first crosslinking temperature to form a thermoplastic, partially crosslinked elastomer composition; (b) mixing a thermoplastic polymer composition with the thermoplastic, partially crosslinked elastomer composition and heating the mixture to a second crosslinking temperature higher than the first crosslinking temperature, wherein the thermoplastic polymer composition is liquid at the second crosslinking temperature; and (c) continuously mixing the mixture while further crosslinking the elastomer composition to form a thermoplastic material having a dispersed phase of crosslinked elastomer composition in the thermoplastic polymer composition. The elastomer composition may include an elastomer compounded with a curing agent and optionally additional components. A thermoplastic material resulting from this process may be molded or shaped by any method used for forming thermoplastic materials into articles, such as molding, extrusion, or thermoforming.
