STRANDED THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER COMPOSITE CABLES, METHODS FOR PRODUCTION AND USE THEREOF Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H01B5/10 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to helically stranded thermoplastic polymer composite cables, which can be used as power transmission cables, underwater tethers and underwater umbilicals etc. The cable (10) includes a single wire (2) defining a centre longitudinal axis, a first plurality of thermoplastic polymer composite wires (4) helically stranded around the single wire (2), and a plurality of flexible metal wires (6) stranded around the first plurality of thermoplastic polymer composite wires (5), wherein said plurality of flexible metal wires comprises at least one metal selected from a group including zirconium, copper, tin, cadmium, aluminium, manganese, zinc, cobalt, nickel, chromium, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, their alloys with each other, their alloys with other metals, their alloys with silicon and combinations thereof. Methods of making and using the helically stranded thermoplastic polymer composite cables are also described.

EFFECT: invention enables to produce a cable with high flexibility while maintaining a circular cross-section of the cable during operation.
