STRUCTURAL SUBSTITUTES MADE FROM POLYMER FIBERS

摘要

A method for creating a material sheet with fibers includes the steps of feeding a layer of loose fibers to a conveyor; applying adhesive to the loose fibers, the adhesive being capable of mechanically bonding to the loose fibers; conveying the loose fibers and adhesive to a mold; and allowing the adhesive applied to the loose fibers to expand while containing the adhesive applied with the loose fibers in the mold in a manner to cause the adhesive to permeate throughout the fibers and to harden in a desired thickness.
