Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to the use of a low Tg compatible resin as an adhesive layer for the welding of a thermoplastic composite structure to a thermoplastic or thermoset structure. The invention is especially good for the welding of large parts, such as wind turbine halves and spar caps. A useful thermoplastic composite is one formed by the infusion and curing of long fibers by a reactive acrylic liquid resin system, such as ELIUM® resin systems from Arkema.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An interlayer polymer composition for welding a thermoplastic composite structure (1) to a thermoplastic or thermoset structure, or a metal part (2) comprising a thermoplastic polymer having a Tg of less than 120° C., wherein said interlayer polymer composition is compatible with said structures (1) and (2), wherein the interlayer polymer composition has a Tg at least 10° C. less than a Tg of a matrix polymer of the thermoplastic composite structure (1), and wherein said interlayer polymer composition further comprises impact modifiers present at 1 to 60 weight percent, based on the total interlayer polymer composition. 2. The interlayer polymer composition of claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastic polymer is selected from the group consisting of a (meth)acrylic polymer or copolymers, styrenics, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyolefins, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethanes (PU) polylactic acid (PLA), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polystyrenics, high impact polystyrene (HIPS), functionalized polyolefins, vinyl ester, poly(vinyl ester), polyester and mixtures thereof. 3. The interlayer polymer composition of claim 1 , wherein said interlayer polymer composition further comprises impact modifiers present at 10 to 40 weight percent, based on the total interlayer polymer composition. 4. The interlayer polymer composition of claim 1 , wherein said interlayer polymer composition further comprises one or more functional polymers. 5. The interlayer polymer composition of claim 4 , wherein said one or more functional polymers comprise a functional group selected from the group consisting of epoxy, carboxylic acid, anhydride, carboxylate, amine, siloxane, silicone, urethane, and amide. 6. The interlayer polymer composition of claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastic polymer comprises a (meth)acrylic polymer or copolymer as a primary matrix polymer. 7. The interlayer polymer composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition further comprises one or more additives selected from the group consisting of stabilizers, plasticizers, fillers, antioxidants, antistatic agents, surfactants, colorants, UV stabilizers, and dispersing aids.
