Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for repairing composite materials using a solvation process, in which, in the repair of composite materials comprising a matrix resin and a filler fiber, a solution capable of depolymerizing the matrix resin is provided to a portion to be repaired of the composite material to depolymerize the matrix resin. By removing the matrix resin constituting the composite material by solvating it with a solvent while leaving the internal filler fibers, it is possible to secure continuity of the fiber skeleton of the composite material even after the repair, perform very easy repair, and minimize damage to the fiber skeleton.

Claim (Index 9):
The apparatus for repairing composite material using a solvation process according to  claim 8 , wherein the apparatus further comprises:\n as for the depolymerization solution storage device, a depolymerization solution storage tank; as for the depolymerization solution supply device, a depolymerization solution contact device for receiving a depolymerization solution from the depolymerization solution storage tank and providing it such that the solution contacts the portion to be repaired of fiber reinforced plastic; as for the heater, a heater tank for accommodating and heating the depolymerization solution whose temperature becomes lowered after the contact with the portion to be repaired; and a pump for circulating a depolymerization solution between the depolymerization solution storage tank and the heater tank.
