References and Abstracts shielding and bullet-proofing applications for both military and law-and-order missions. Aramid fibre and high-strength PE fibre in the form of yarn, mat or nonwoven fabric are the reinforcements most used, with thermoset and thermoplastic matrices. Motorcycle helmets are usually reinforced with aramid, PE and carbon fibres to obtain a satisfactory compromise of mechanical properties in the various parts of the helmet. Gloves, boots, body armour, back protectors and air cylinders all make use of composites. EUROPE-GENERAL Accession no.802202 Item 7 Composites International No.42, Nov./Dec.2000, p.41-5 English; French SNOWBOARD: ALL-COMPOSITES The snowboard is a piece of equipment that is 100% composites. Rossignol has chosen the wet lay-up process, which turns out 1,400 to 1,600 boards per day. The Triple Hybrid Core developed by the company is topped off by a double torsion box. The use of carbon fibre and Kevlar/Aramid greatly contributes to reducing weight. At the centre of the board, a section of Microcell honeycomb structure is sandwiched with wood and Isocore, a glass fibre-reinforced PU. New snowboard bindings manufactured by Verton RF may be fastened quickly. They are designed in long glass fibre-reinforced nylon 66 composite supplied by LNP Engineering Plastics.

For the last four decades, the French manufacturer Rossignol has been devoting more than 3% of its turnover per year to R&D in new products. For ski and snowboard manufacture, a textile product, Rovinap, is used for structural reinforcement. It basically consists of layers of glass fibre mats stacked and stitched together. Epoxy is used as a laminating agent for the glass-fibre reinforcement and to bond all of the ski’s constituent components in a wet process. PU or Microcell foam is used for foam core downhill skis. Isocore is a glass fibre reinforced PU foam used for ski cores. Kevlar K49 is an aramid fibre used in the industry to reduce ski weight without sacrificing strength.

All Phoenixx golf shafts incorporate the viscoelastic dynamic stiffening inherent in thermoplastic composite materials which provides a more stable club face at impact that yields tighter ball dispersion and superior shot accuracy. High technology PPS is reinforced with carbon fibres in the shaft.

The HM-40 Tour Gold is the alltime best selling high-performance graphite fibre shaft for better players. The two new models offer the same performance attributes of the original shaft, but in today’s popular lighter weights. ALDILA INC. USA Accession no.802047 Item 11 Antec 2000.Conference proceedings.

The computer predictions were reasonably accurate for Young’s modulus, whilst the experimental tensile modulus values were approximately 10% higher than predicted, and the experimental flexural modulus was approximately 30% lower than predicted. 7 refs.

(Translated from Kunststoffe 90 (2000), 12, p.58-62) RIGHT SOFTWARE BRINGS SUCCESS Steck R The advantages are described of a standardised computer aided design data structure in the successful development of an electric golf caddy. Thermoplastik Erich Mueller GmbH uses the Thermoshape fusible-core process and innovative continuous-strand-reinforced thermoplastic carbon fibre to produce the caddy, which was designed using CAD techniques. The company claims that by using Pro/Engineer, it is employing a common system that makes a wide range of potential partner companies accessible to it. THERMOPLASTIK ERICH MUELLER GMBH EUROPEAN COMMUNITY; EUROPEAN UNION; GERMANY; WESTERN EUROPE Accession no.799411 Item 13 Elastomers Times No.24, 2000, p.3 ENGAGE MAKES A SPLASH WITH POOL TOYS FROM NOMACO Funnoodles from Nomaco are tubular foam water toys. The brightly coloured, 1.8m-long toys are made of LDPE blended with Engage polyolefin elastomer. Engage acts as a modifier that enhances the flexibility of the blended polymer product. The polyolefin elastomer is more stable and colourable than competitive products, and exhibits great tensile strength and good processability in the foam extrusion process. Engage also enhances the welding strength and weatherability of the toys.

Fabrics coated with DuPont Dow Hypalon chlorosulphonated PE or PVC predominate. Hypalon coated onto polyester or nylon fabric with an inner coating of Neoprene is the most reliable and durable inflatable boat fabric available and can last for more than a decade even in the harshest environment, claims Severn Boats, the marketing and sales division of Severn Marine D.O.O.

BOSNIA-HERCEGOVINA Accession no.799004 Item 15 Elastomers Times No.24, 2000, p.1/4 ENGAGE ADDS COMFORT TO SPORTING COMPONENTS Engage polyolefin elastomer is a key ingredient in snowboard straps, kayak seats and spa pillows made by Finproject, an Italian footwear and sporting goods company. Finproject has developed injection-moulded foams incorporating Engage that take advantage of the wide formulation latitude made possible by the expansive choice of crystallinity and molecular weights within the product line.

Cambridge, UK, Royal Society of Chemistry, 1998, 54F, p.395-417 FLAME RETARDANT COMPOSITES, A REVIEW: POTENTIAL FOR USE OF INTUMESCENTS Kandola B K; Horrocks A R Bolton Institute Edited by: Le Bras M; Camino G; Bourbigot S; Delobel R (Ecole Nationale Superieure de Chimie de Lille; Torino,Universita; CREPIM) The major advantages of composites include low density, high specific strength and stiffness, good corrosion resistance and improved fatigue properties. The ability to tailor properties of composites makes them the only materials capable of transforming new design concepts into reality. Their major applications are in load-bearing structures in aircraft, automobiles, ships, pipelines, storage tanks, sports equipment, etc. as bulkhead, framework and panel components. However, with the organic nature of both the matrix binder and in some cases, fibres, nonflammable materials may be replaced with materials which may be thermoplastic, will support combustion and evolve large quantities of smoke while burning. Even if inorganic fibres like E-glass are the reinforcing structures, composite fire resistance will be determined by that of © Copyright 2001Rapra Technology Limited 23
