Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A composite material for a component of a golf club head is disclosed herein. The composite material includes a composite layers and at least one an interlaminar layer that includes one of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes, Z-Axis aligned carbon fibers or graphene platelets. In one preferred embodiment, the golf club head component is a face component.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim as our invention the following: 1 . A composite material for a component of a golf club head, the composite material comprising: a first composite layer; a second composite layer; and an interlaminar layer composed of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes; wherein the first composite layer and the second composite layer comprise a plurality of plies, each of the plurality of plies a unidirectional orientation, a bi-axial orientation or a tri-axial orientation; wherein a laminate comprises a structure formed from the first composite layer, the second composite layer and the interlaminar layer; wherein an additive laminate ratio = ∑ k = 1 m - 1 Area Additive k ∑ k = 1 m Area Ply k wherein m=a total number of plies, wherein an Area_Ply k is the area of each composite ply (k) in the laminate, wherein an Area Additive (k) is the area of the reinforcement present between offsetting plies (k and k+1), wherein the additive laminate ratio of the composite material ranges between 0.05 and 0.9. 2 . The composite material according to claim 1 wherein each of the first composite layer and the second composite layer has a fabric area weight ranging from 20 gsm to 500 gsm. 3 . The composite material according to claim 1 wherein each the first composite layer and the second composite layer comprises at least one of a carbon fiber, fiberglass fiber, or aramid fiber. 4 . A composite material for a component of a golf club head, the composite material comprising: a first composite layer; a second composite layer; and an interlaminar layer comprising one of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes, Z-Axis aligned carbon fibers or graphene platelets; wherein the first composite layer and the second composite layer comprise a plurality of plies, each of the plurality of plies a unidirectional orientation, a bi-axial orientation or a tri-axial orientation; wherein a laminate comprises a structure formed from the first composite layer, the second composite layer and the interlaminar layer; wherein an additive laminate ratio = ∑ k = 1 m - 1 Area Additive k ∑ k = 1 m Area Ply k wherein m=a total number of plies, wherein an Area_Ply k is the area of each composite ply (k) in the laminate, wherein an Area Additive (k) is the area of the reinforcement present between offsetting plies (k and k+1), wherein the additive laminate ratio of the composite material ranges between 0.05 and 0.9. 5 . The composite material according to claim 4 wherein each of the first composite layer and the second composite layer has a fabric area weight ranging from 20 gsm to 500 gsm. 6 . The composite material according to claim 4 wherein each the first composite layer and the second composite layer comprises at least one of a carbon fiber, fiberglass fiber, or aramid fiber. 7 . The composite material according to claim 4 wherein the interlaminar layer comprises Z-Axis aligned carbon fibers and an average thickness of the Z-Axis aligned carbon fibers between the first composite layer and the second composite layer ranges from 0.003 inch to 0.060 inch. 8 . The composite material according to claim 4 wherein the interlaminar layer comprises Z-Axis aligned carbon fibers and a fabric area weight of the interlaminar layer ranges from 10 gsm to 300 gsm.
