A NATEP project
Objective:
Our innovation arises by combining dry UD fibre with a new high temperature resin formulation, which is not currently on the market. This will create an intermediate tape composite material that can be laid like a thermoplastic, but which can be subsequently crosslinked like a thermoset and withstand temperatures of more than 350°C.
Why is it wanted:
-
- Competition for existing titanium or composite parts
-
- Temperature resistance (Tg) up to or beyond 350°C
-
- No machining time or waste
-
- Very flexible manufacturing options
-
- Long ambient shelf life
Innovations:
-
- Adaption of Polyimide resin to function in UD tape format
-
- Refinement of intermediate powder slurry formulation for the manufacture of tapes
-
- Optimisation of tape manufacturing process
-
- Optimisation of tape laying / part curing processes
