A technique is provided for both forming frame portions from thermoplastic resin prepregs containing randomly arranged reinforcing fibers directly at predetermined location(s) upon a preformed wall portion and simultaneously bonding such as formed frame portions directly to such wall portion at such
A technique is provided for both forming frame portions from thermoplastic resin prepregs containing randomly arranged reinforcing fibers directly at predetermined location(s) upon a preformed wall portion and simultaneously bonding such as formed frame portions directly to such wall portion at such location(s). The wall portion is itself a laminate derived from thermoplastic resin prepregs containing ordered, substantially continuous reinforcing fibers.

A process for fabricating an integrally formed structural composite comprised of a generally flattened wall portion and at least one three-dimensional frame portion, said wall portion being derived from at least one first prepreg, and said frame portion being derived from at least one second prepreg
A process for fabricating an integrally formed structural composite comprised of a generally flattened wall portion and at least one three-dimensional frame portion, said wall portion being derived from at least one first prepreg, and said frame portion being derived from at least one second prepreg, each of said first prepregs comprising a thermoplastic resin matrix which is impregnated with substantially continuous reinforcing fibers which are arranged in an ordered array in such first prepregs, said at least one second prepreg comprising a thermoplastic resin matrix which is impregnated with reinforcing fibers which are at least about ⅛inch in average length and which have an average diameter to length ratio which are at least about 1:10, said reinforcing fibers being randomly arranged in such second prepreg, said thermoplastic resin being selected from the resin group consisting of: polyarylene sulfides, polyethers, polyketones, polysulfones, polyamides, polyimides, polyamideimides, polyetherimides polyesters, polycarbonates, and acetal resins, said reinforcing fibers being comprised of a material selected from the group consisting of: carbon, aramid, glass, quartz, silicon carbide, ceramic, metal coated carbon, and metal, said process comprising the steps of: (A) laminating together a first stack of prepregs positioned between a pair of spaced, generally parallel molding surface means applied against opposing outside faces of said first stack, said first stack comprising said at least one first prepreg interfacially arranged, said laminating being carried out while said molding surface means: are maintained at a temperature which is at least sufficient to heat fuse together contacting surface portions of said thermoplastic resin, apply a pressure against opposing outside faces which is at least sufficient to compress said first prepregs to a predetermined extent, said temperature and said pressure being concurrently applied for a time which is at least sufficient to heat fuse said first prepregs together, thereby to form said wall portion, said wall portion having generally spaced, parallel, opposed surfaces, (B) laying up a second stack of prepregs on a predetermined location against one of said wall surfaces, said second stack being comprised of said at least one second prepreg, said second stack having prechosen exterior dimensions, and positioning configuration-defining mold means exteriorly around outside surface portions of said second stack and also against the other of said wall surfaces at said predetermined location, the interrelationship between said second stack and said configuration-defining mold means being such that, when said configuration-defining mold means is pressurized to a predetermined extent perpendicularly to said wall portion, such second stack is consolidated and defines said frame portion, and (C) compressing said configuration-defining mold means perpendicularly relative to said wall portion with a prechosen pressure, said configuration-defining mold means being heated to a prechosen temperature, and maintaining said prechosen pressure and said prechosen temperature for a time at least sufficient to heat fuse together said second prepregs to one another and to said wall surfaces at said location, thereby to produce simultaneously said frame portion and also said integral composite structure.
