A method of forming composite components is described in which a composite lay-up is created using varying fibre types across the lay-up. This can adapt the lay-up to forming processes in regions of the lay-up to be formed and uses fibre types which give the greatest strength benefits in areas which do not need to be formed. Regions not requiring forming may have binders in them activated prior to a forming step or steps, after which the formed regions may be impregnated with a matrix and the component cured. |

An epoxy resin composition is disclosed for joining dissimilar materials. The identified epoxy resin compositions can be used to seal metallic and non-metallic components of a capacitor. Specifically the epoxy resin composition can be applied to joints between a non-metallic capacitor bushing and a metallic tank cover and metallic terminal cap. Once the epoxy resin composition is cured, it can provide a seal that can withstand the stresses and environmental conditions to which a capacitor is subjected. |

A method for treating substrates, including applying a composition, which includes at least one latent alkyl borane and is substantially free of decomplexing agents for the latent alkyl borane, to a substrate (1) that has a material having unsaturated units, applying a radically curable substance to the substrate (1) pretreated with the latent alkyl borane, and allowing the radically curable substance to cure in order to form a composite structure. The method is suitable in particular for applying paints, coatings, or sealing materials/filling materials to substrates, such as EPDM, NBR, and SBR, and for adhesively bonding such substrates. Composite materials adhesively bonded accordingly are distinguished by especially firm adhesion of the adhesive to the substrate, wherein conventional adhesives can be used, which have optimized properties with regard to the storage stability, open time, and cure time thereof. |

A Z-pin including a first bi-metal structure having a first metal strip and a second metal strip bonded together, where the first and second metal strips have different coefficients of thermal expansion, and a second bi-metal structure having a third metal strip and fourth metal strip bonded together, where the third metal strip and the fourth metal strip have different coefficients of thermal expansion. The first and third metal strips are selectively secured together at at least one discrete location so that heating of the Z-pin causes the first and second bi-metal structures to deform relative to each other. The Z-pin is inserted into a composite laminate structure while it is in its uncured state, where curing of the composite structure causes the first and second bi-metal structures to deform relative to each other to lock the laminate layers together. |

Dry, plied roll paper is transformed into hand wetted roll paper that may be used either dry, or selectively hand wetted using the device of the invention. The device is applied to the paper in liquid form, heated and cooled to form a plastic solid which becomes part of the paper. The device is then shaped into a container filled with an anti-bacterial cleaning agent, or other agent, and assembled on the paper between the top and bottom paper ply. The device is made on a modified roll-to-roll winding machine while the machine is in motion. This manufacturing method is more efficient than adding externally sourced batch-made wetting devices to paper. The hand wetted roll paper can be used as paper towels or toilet paper for dry and/or wet hygienic cleaning. The paper may have other properties depending on the agent used. |

Laminates of polymeric films and solvent-based polyurethane adhesive formulations for preparing them are provided. The adhesive formulations include a hydroxyl-terminated polyester that forms crystalline polyester domains after reaction with an appropriate polyisocyanate, but prior to completion of cure. The result is an adhesive layer that substantially enhances the oxygen barrier properties of the adhesive and, therefore, of the laminate as a whole, while offering desirable convenience of application even at relatively low temperatures. The laminates may also exhibit desirable retention of barrier properties following flex-cracking. |
