Direct chemical bonding effect on flexural strength and flexural modulus of glass fiber reinforced plastics, noting degradation reactions
Pre-pregged fiber glass is an efficient abrasive for machining polystyrene and polyurethane foams. It bonds easily to any cutter base made of aluminum, steel, or phenolic, is inexpensive, and is readily available.
Printed circuit board has a thermal coefficient of expansion similar to that of the electronic component leads. High-expansion composite materials are sandwiched between the outer layers of copper and woven fiber glass.
Dies of a phenolic molding compound with chopped glass fibers as fill material possess a flexural strength of 20,000 psi and a compressive strength of 28,500 psi.
Fiber glass honeycomb conical support with integral, tapered-laminate edge members is developed for a liquid hydrogen tank. Special processing prevents collapse of the core and adds rigidity.
Cookie cutter device initiates production of identical, double-contoured fiber glass elements used as shock absorbers. Three-bladed edges convert triangular honeycomb elements into hexagonal shapes which are then stamped to desired length by concave and convex dies. Sandpaper smoothing completes the process.
Sphere surface is covered with plain weave of glass fibers coated with polytetrafluoroethylene and one or two layers of magnesium oxide vapor. The resultant lining is suitable for measurement of radiation in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths, is not damage prone, and is easily cleaned.
Inexpensive method of fabricating cryostats uses polyurethane, super insulation, fiber glass, and cardboard/plywood. Cryostat weighs 1/10 of Dewar, occupies about same volume, is easy to handle, requires no metal parts, and can be formed into virtually any configuration.

Method includes test device design and fabrication and standard Naval Ordnance Laboratory /NOL/ test ring as the test specimen. Technique provides accurate measurement of NOL ring elastic modulus, and adapts for use with fiber glass epoxy/rings.
Lightweight, opacified, glass fiber batting for high temperature insulation in cryogenic tanks has lower apparent thermal conductivity than untreated insulations. Decrease results from impeding the transmission of radiant energy without increasing the solid conductance of the material.
