Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of structural hybrid thermoplastic composites where organic and inorganic fibres are well dispersed in a thermoplastic matrix. The process comprises defibrillating the organic fibres with or without the presence of surface active agents using a mixer at a high shear and at a temperature lower than the decomposition temperature of organic fibres and melting point of the surface active agents to separate the hydrogen bonded fibres and generate microfibres, followed by blending and dispersion of the organic fibres in the thermoplastic matrix to produce a fibre composite, followed by further blending and dispersion of the fibre composite with inorganic fibres at a low shear to get the moldable hybrid composite, followed by extrusion, injection or compression- injection molding. Low shear mixing maintains the inorganic fibre length. The process produces high performance composite materials having excellent performance properties and are ideally suited for automotive, aerospace, furniture, sports articles, upholstery and other structural and semi--structural applications.

Granted: 2014-03-25
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'injection (110) comprenant un boîtier (112) conçu pour recevoir une seringue (114) présentant une buse de sortie (118) et un piston (130). Un élément de déclenchement et un entraînement (134) sont conçus pour agir sur le piston lorsque l'élément d'actionnement est actionné, pour faire avancer la seringue d'une position de retrait à une position d'extension à travers une ouverture (150) du boîtier. Un mécanisme de verrouillage (160, 170) est disposé dans le boîtier pour pouvoir se déplacer par rapport à celui-ci. Le mécanisme de verrouillage est couplé au piston lorsque la seringue n'est pas dans sa position d'extension, et est découplée du piston lorsque la seringue est dans sa position d'extension. Cela signifie que le mouvement du piston par rapport à la seringue, n'est pas possible lorsque, en cours d'utilisation, la seringue est avancée de la position de retrait à une position d'extension. Ainsi, le contenu de la seringue d'est pas expulsé de celle-ci lors de son avancement de la position de retrait à la position d'extension, mais est expulsé uniquement lorsque la seringue atteint sa position d'extension.
