Fiber-reinforced composites with improved mechanical properties useful in a range of transparent applications such as impact-resistant windshields and faceshields.

To manufacture a transparent fiber-matrix composite with large diameter fibers (greater than ~1 micron), the refractive indices of the constituents must be very well matched (i.e. within 0.001). However, constituent refractive ...

This disclosure describes an invention that constitutes a new process and a new constitution of matter. The invention combines colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles and polymer to produce a composite precursor that is in high viscosity, liquid form. This material can form composite fibers and other forms of the polymer/quantum ...

Innovative approaches have been devised to create multifunctional metal matrix composites offering effective structural and passive damping capabilities. Both functions are derived from an in situ-synthesized dispersion of ceramic crystals within the metallic matrix. In their role as structural-effecting entities, the ceramic crystal dispersions are in a form suitable for ...
