French term or phrase: solide structurant
From a patent for a self-lubricating hair clipper blade:

L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'une pièce de coupe comprenant les étapes successives suivantes:

- mise en oeuvre d'un mélange comprenant au moins des particules d'un solide structurant et un liant présentant une température de fusion inférieure à celle du solide structurant

The claims have been translated already but not especially well. The claims translator has translated 'solide structurant' as 'structuring solid', but I am not convinced.

Thanks in advance!

structurally stiff solid


Explanation:
If I had developed such a composite material myself, I wonder how I would describe it? Probably not as a "structural solid" but rather as a stiff solid, or a solid with structural stiffness surrounded by a weaker matrix. On the other hand, patentese is a language all of its own in which the most horrendous of linguistic crimes are perpetrated, so who knows?
