    摘要: The present application provides an apparatus that is for producing a fiber-reinforced resin having reinforcement fibers aligned in one direction and that is capable of, with a relatively simple configuration, connecting a preceding reinforcement fiber and a subsequent reinforcement fiber when switching between the reinforcement fibers. An apparatus according to the present invention is for producing a fiber-reinforced resin having reinforcement fibers aligned in one direction, and comprises: an impregnation part which impregnates a reinforcement fiber with a resin; and a switching device which performs switching of reinforcement fibers on the upstream side of the impregnation part, from a preceding reinforcement fiber to a new reinforcement fiber. During the switching operation, the switching device forms a fabric using the preceding reinforcement fiber and the new reinforcement fiber as warp and other fibers as weft so as to connect the new reinforcement fiber with the preceding reinforcement fiber.

    摘要: A process for continuous production of z-threaded fiber reinforced polymer composites. The process includes providing a pre-formed fiber fabric including a plurality of fibers and a pre-formed, solidified film having a film thickness dimension, wherein the film includes a heat-meltable base matrix material in combination with a plurality of z-aligned nanofibers disposed within the base matrix material. The film and fiber fabric are advanced in layered relation through a constricting matrix transfer station, wherein the fiber fabric is heated to a temperature at or above the melting point of the base matrix material and the base matrix material progressively melts at an interface with the fabric face and flows with the nanofibers into the fiber fabric in the fabric thickness dimension as the film and fiber fabric move through the matrix transfer station. The matrix transfer station includes a constricting processing gap urging the film towards the fiber fabric through at least a portion of the matrix transfer station.

    摘要: The disclosed concept relates generally to a tubular composite structure for the intake, storage, and conveyance of gaseous or liquid media, including but not limited to hydrogen, hydrocarbons, and non-hydrocarbons, and related methods for manufacture. The tubular composite structure consists of one or more cannular assemblies, each composed of multiple layers of sealing, reinforcement, sensing and monitoring components, pressure injected fluids, and over-molded structural and protection layers.
