METHOD OF FORMING A COMPOSITE CHASSIS MATERIAL USING A BIOPOLYMER

摘要

Methods for manufacturing a composite chassis material using a biopolymer may be used to provide high-strength, low weight, and flame retardant structural elements in information handling systems. A method for manufacturing the composite chassis material using a biopolymer may include selectively adding silica, such as silica fume and/or silica nanoparticles, and pre-forming a biopolymer foam core that is coated with a polysulphonic compound.

1. A method for manufacturing a composite chassis material using a biopolymer for use in an information handling system, comprising:
impregnating a first carbon fiber weave with a thermoplastic resin to form a first carbon fiber layer; forming a biopolymer foam core by laminating the first carbon fiber layer with a biopolymer sheet and a silica material; and applying a coating of a polysulphonic compound to the biopolymer foam core to form a flame retardant laminate.
