Multidirectional woven and braided preforms fit complex curvatures without cutting or darting, preserving fiber orientation and structural strength.
A soft-metal joining layer bonds ceramic members below the metal liquidus, avoiding deformation, surface damage, and post-join correction.
Circumferential core fibers in a composite mounting flange distribute stress and prevent catastrophic failure without adding significant weight.
Embedded barbed metal wires in fibre-reinforced plastic plates secure concrete structures against thermal expansion and corrosion.
A protective casing combines a flexible insulation layer with a microlattice structure impregnated by heat absorbing material.
Incorporating exfoliated layered silicate particles into polyamide gas bag fabrics resolves low temperature brittleness without silicone coatings.
Spaced-apart compaction strips consolidate uncured composite layers during curing to form tubes with controlled surface finish.
