Abstract
Abstract A fiber reinforced composite material is provided. This comprises at least three layers of: (a) at least two layers of composite materials and (b) at least one layer of viscoelastic material. Each of the layers (a) has undirectionally aligned reinforcing fibers impregnated in a matrix resin. Preferably, at least one pair of the layers (a) has orientation angles of the fibers different from each other. Between such pair of the layers (a), the layer (b) is sandwiched. Such fiber reinforced composite material has a large vibration damping property.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
A prepreg sheet comprising (i) a layer of a composite material for damping vibration prepared by impregnating unidirectionally aligned reinforcing fibers in a matrix resin and semi-hardening the base resin and (ii) a coating thereon of a viscoelastic damping material in a semi-hardened or hardened condition, said viscoelastic damping material having a low Young's modulus with high vibration damping, at room temperature.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
62 words
A prepreg sheet comprising (i) a layer of a composite material for damping vibration prepared by impregnating unidirectionally aligned reinforcing fibers in a matrix resin and semi-hardening the base resin and (ii) a coating thereon of a viscoelastic damping material in a semi-hardened or hardened condition, said viscoelastic damping material having a low Young's modulus with high vibration damping, at room temperature.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A prepreg sheet according to claim 1 where the viscoelastic material is selected from the group consisting of polyurethanes, polyolefins, and epoxy resins.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
A prepreg sheet according to claim 2 further including a curing agent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A prepreg sheet according to claim 1 wherein the viscoelastic material is formed from 1,6 hexanediol diglycidyl ether and a xylene-formaldehyde condensate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
A prepreg sheet according to claim 1 wherein the viscoelastic material is polyethylene or polypropylene.
