Abstract

One embodiment relates to an, article and a method for producing an article including a plurality of substrates, and an adhesive bonded between at least two of the plurality of substrates. The adhesive can include a polycarbonate copolymer that includes reacted resorcinol, siloxane, and bisphenol-A. Another embodiment relates to an article having a first polyimide substrate, a second polyimide substrate, and an adhesive bonded between the first substrate and the second substrate. The article can have a 2 minute integrated heat release rate of less than or equal to 65 kilowatt-minutes per square meter (kW−min/m 2 ) and a peak heat release rate of less than 65 kilowatts per square meter (kW/m 2 ) as measured using the method of FAR F25.4, in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulation FAR 25.853(d).

First claim

We claim:

1. An aircraft component comprising:
(a) at least a first polyimide substrate in the form of a polyimide foam;
(b) at least a second polyimide substrate in the form of a polyimide foam; and
(c) an adhesive bonded to and between the first substrate of polyimide foam and the second substrate of polyimide foam,
wherein the aircraft component has a 2 minute integrated heat release rate of less than or equal to 65 kilowatt-minutes per square meter (kW−min/m2) and a peak heat release rate of less than 65 kilowatts per square meter (kW/m2) as measured using the method of FAR F25.4, in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulation FAR 25.853(d), wherein the adhesive is a hot-melt adhesive comprising a polycarbonate copolymer comprising reacted resorcinol, siloxane, and bisphenol-A.

2. The aircraft component of claim 1 , wherein the aircraft component is at least one selected from the group consisting of radomes, fuselages, wings, structured cores, stow bins, galley panels, lavatory walls, dividers, aircraft passenger seats and structured panels.

3. The aircraft component of claim 1 , wherein the aircraft component is one selected from a group consisting of two stow bins, galley panels, lavatory walls, aircraft passenger seats, structured panels and dividers.

4. The aircraft component of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor between the first polyimide substrate and the second polyimide substrate.

5. The air craft component of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive further comprises reinforcing fiber.

6. A laminated article comprising:
(a) a first laminae comprising a first polyimide foam substrate;
(b) a second laminae comprising a second polyimide foam substrate;
(c) a third laminae comprising a polycarbonate copolymer which is a reacted resorcinol, siloxane, and bisphenol-A
wherein the third laminae possesses adhesive properties sufficient to bond to each of said first and said second laminae to form the laminated article; and,
wherein the laminated article has a 2 minute integrated heat release rate of less than or equal to 65 kilowatt-minutes per square meter (kW−min/m2) and a peak heat release rate of less than 65 kilowatts per square meter (kW/m2) as measured using the method of FAR F25.4, in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulation FAR 25.853(d).

7. The laminated article of claim 6 , wherein neither of the first and the second laminae comprise a poly(4-4′-oxydiohenylene-pyromellitimide).

8. The laminated article of claim 6 , further comprising a sensor between the first polyimide substrate and the second polyimide substrate.

9. The laminated article of claim 6 , wherein the third laminae further comprises reinforcing fibers.
