Entitlement Targeting for Optimal Composite Materials and Application Development

A revolutionary step by step composite development and optimization process with built in targets is provided. Specific key property targets are obtained directly from raw materials in the system. This approach provides the highest translation of raw material values to composite properties. Design goals and quality risk assessments are now easily defined. Due to the growth and wide application of in-house composite development where no optimization is applied, due to prohibitive costs, this methodology provides a simplified approach to ensure maximum properties and material knowledge through the entire value chain. This is the most direct and simplified approach ever developed and should become the industry standard for polymer matrix system optimization. Textbook and test data is presented to prove the theories and show that modern composite materials require numerous optimization steps along the entire value chain. Due to the Growth of infusion, this process is critical to ensure a solid future for the industry, allowing instant determination of efficacy and a clear optimization path. This methodology has been applied to optimize numerous combinations over decades. Special panel and data observations are required and examples are provided.
