Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for preparing stable 3D polymer objects with surface micro-nanostructures. The method includes the following steps: Step (1): Synthesizing a thermoset 2D polymer object with surface microstructures. The polymer network contains reversible exchangeable bonds. Step (2): deforming synthesized polymer to an arbitrary desired shape above the reshaping temperature with an external force applied. The permanent reshaping temperature falls in the range of 50-130° C. and external stress is held for 5 min-24 hours Step (3): after cooling, a permanent 3D polymer object with surface microstructure is obtained. Step (2-3) can be repeated for many cycles and the 2D polymer object can be arbitrarily and cumulatively deformed to get a complex 3D structures. The polymer networks contain reversible exchangeable bonds and bond exchange catalysts in the present invention. The method disclosed in present invention is simple and efficient for preparing complex 3D polymer objects with surface micro-nanostructures.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming elongated composite structural members with a desired cross-sectional geometry as taken transverse to the length of the member. An apparatus may include a base with a substantially elongated mandrel mounted thereon. One or more rollers configured to at least partially complementarily engage the mandrel are configure to roll over and press a plurality of plies of composite material onto the mandrel. The rollers may be configured to form intermediate structures which partially conform to the mandrel prior to forming the final structure which substantially completely conforms to the geometry of the mandrel. The rolls serve to both form and debulk the structure. The present invention enables the formation of elongated structural members from resin impregnated materials while maintaining the materials in a substantially uncured state. The formed members may then be cocured with a skin or other composite structure.

One method includes, providing a substantially elongated mandrel having an exterior surface exhibiting a desired geometry. Laying up a first ply of preimpregnated fiber reinforced material over the mandrel. Applying a force to the first ply to establish a desired amount of tension within the first ply and then pressing the first ply onto the mandrel in a conformal manner.
