摘要:
A burnthrough resistant non-woven mat is made of a glass fibers and includes a binder having a vinyl component and a strengthening component. The vinyl component may be, for example, ethylene vinyl chloride, and the strengthening component may be, for example, melamine formaldehyde. The burnthrough resistant non-woven mat may be used in conjunction with an insulation blanket, and may be especially suited to use in insulating aircraft. Methods of making the burnthrough resistant non-woven mat are discussed.

A new class of composites results from a matrix of carbon fibers, including graphite fibers, interwoven in a network of fused metal fibers. The composites can be fabricated to have varying surface area, void volume, and pore size while maintaining high electrical conductivity. Composites are readily prepared from a preform of a dispersion of carbon fibers, metal fibers, and an organic binder such as cellulose, by heating the preform at a temperature sufficient to fuse the metal fibers and to volatilize at least 90% of the binder with a loss of less than about 25%, and usually under 10%, by weight of carbon fiber.

There is provided a substrate (1) capable of carrying uniformly dispersed, finely divided, particulate, solid particles, e. g., catalyst particles (10) and sustaining temperatures in excess of 1200 degrees F. The substrate comprises a top layer (2) for containing the particles (10) and composed of quartz fibers (4) with an average diameter of between about 0.1 and 4 microns and about 0 to 13% of microglass fibers having a softening point of about 1000 degrees F. A support layer (3) is composed of the fibers of the top layer and, in addition, bulk refractory, e. g., ceramic, fibers (6) having and average diameter of about 1 to 4 microns and 0 to 50% of chopped e-glass fiber (7). A method for producing the substrate is provided that includes wet laying the top and bottom layers in spaced apart times so that the juncture (8) between the two layers has intermingled fibers whereby the consolidated layers are not easily separated.

The present invention relates to a hybrid prepreg having reinforcing carbon fibers and foreign fibers. The carbon fibers have a diameter ranging from 5-30 microns and are unidirectionally arranged. The foreign fibers are composed either of single monofilaments having a diameter ranging from between about 50-150 microns or of strands formed by bundling together a plurality of single monofilaments having a diameter ranging from between about 5-50 microns. If strands are employed, they have a conversion diameter (D.sub.0) which is less than about 500 microns. The conversion diameter (D.sub.0) is represented by the following equation: ##EQU1## wherein n is the number of monofilaments used in forming the strand, and wherein d is the diameter of these monofilaments. Examples of foreign fibers which can be used when practicing this invention include boron fibers, metal fibers and organic fibers. These foreign fibers are spaced at fixed intervals, arranged in the same direction as the direction of the reinforcing carbon fibers, and positioned approximately at or near the center of the resulting prepreg. The prepreg prepared in accordance with the present invention also includes a thermosetting matrix resin in which the reinforcing carbon fibers and the foreign fibers are impregnated.

Robust, large area selective infrared line emitters can be made using composites of rare earth metal compound particulates dispersed and interlocked in a network of connected structure-forming fibers having an emissivity less than about 0.1 in the range 0.7-5 microns. Articles where the composite is formed of rare earth metal oxide fibers in a network of sinter-bonded quartz fibers show narrow bandwidth emissions with good thermal conversion efficiencies.
