Summary: | A reinforced composite material includes a laminate panel adhered to a strengthening panel with a layer of adhesive that is interposed therebetween. The strengthening panel includes a reinforcement embedded therein, and may be in the form of a sheet of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). The layer of adhesive can include a coating of a contact adhesive applied to each of the laminate panel and the strengthening panel, or can be in the form of a hot melt glue or an epoxy adhesive. A method of forming the reinforced composite material includes forming the laminate panel, forming the reinforcing panel, and adhering the laminate panel to the reinforcing panel with a layer of adhesive. The adhering step can include applying and curing a layer of hot melt adhesive, applying coatings of a contact adhesive to the laminate panel and the reinforcing panel, and applying an epoxy adhesive, and/or other steps. |
