Composite coated substrates and moldable composite materials

摘要

A moldable composite material contains flakes of composite material, i.e., flakes of polymeric matrix materials having fibers embedded therein. An improved substrate is provided by providing a substrate and applying a coating onto the substrate, the coating containing the flakes of composite material. A first construction member can be secured to a second construction member by applying the coating onto an attachment region of the first construction member, and applying a fastener onto the first construction member in the coated attachment region to secure the first construction member to the second construction member.

1. A moldable composite material comprising:
first flakes of a first composite material; and second flakes of a second composite material, the first composite material being different from the second composite material, wherein the first flakes comprise fibers in a first polymer matrix and the second flakes comprise fibers in a second polymer matrix, and wherein the first polymer matrix is a thermoplastic material and the second polymer matrix is a thermosetting material, and wherein the moldable composite material comprises added pieces of a substrate, the substrate being different from the first flakes and the first polymer matrix and different from the second flakes and the second polymer matrix, and wherein the added pieces of the substrate are pieces of a honeycomb material.
