Thermoplastic Matrices
Two types of thermoplastic composites: Discontinuous and continuous reinforcements
- Discontinuous fiber- Conventional thermoplastics and short (3mm) or long fibers (6mm)
- Polypropylene, nylon, PET, PBT, Polysulphone, PE, ABS, PC, HIPS, PPO
- Short Glass or Carbon fiber increases
- Tensile strength, modulus, impact strength, cost, thermal properties
- Short Glass or carbon fiber decreases
- Elongation,
- CLTE,
- Moisture
