Abstract

A fiber reinforced metal composite having a metal layer and a fiber layer which are arranged in a stack, and adjacent layers are fixed by bonding; the composite has a two-layered or three-layered structure, wherein one layer is closely adhered to another layer and the thickness of the layer is from 0.6 mm˜0.9 mm. Such structure changes the structure of the existing fiber metal composite characterized by generally having more than three layers, and greatly reduces the thickness of the composite while maintaining good mechanical properties. Also disclosed is an application of fiber reinforced metal composite in the field of luggage case manufacturing, providing two preparation methods for providing fiber reinforced metal case shell with simple and available operations.

Abstract

The present invention generally relates to a thermoplastic resin which is functionalized by an initiator- or linker-free process and imparted with functional properties, and related methods of fabrication. In particular, the present invention relates to methods of covalently modifying the thermoplastic resin using plasma before or after being introduced with an active agent having said functional properties.
