In composite processing, a compressible dry fiber preform is in many cases impregnated by a molten polymeric matrix. The impregnated part is sometimes used as produced, but most often it requires a reheating step before stamping, flow molding or even paint ...
During reheating and post-processing of thermoplastic-based composites, deconsolidation is often observed: the volume fraction fibre decreases and the void content increases. In this article, the phenomena leading to deconsolidation are investigated, with ...
In automotive engineering, the main load bearing structure (Body-in-White, BIW) has traditionally been manufactured using metals such as steel and light alloys. In order to satisfy upcoming European regulations on CO2 emissions, considerable weight reducti ...
Temperature-dependent material properties of glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites were derived from tests performed on the material itself, from references concerned with similar polymer materials and from observations during full-scale fire experimen ...
Three methods to mix ceramic fillers, hydroxyapatite or β-tricalcium phosphate, with a polymer matrix, a poly l-lactic acid, are investigated as a first step prior to supercritical foaming to prepare porous composite structures for biomedical applications. ...
Liquid composite moulding of Lactam 12 monomer and activating system (APLC12) into satin weave carbon fabrics is investigated, with emphasis on minimising the void content in the final part. The main sources for void formation are identified. The solidific ...
A process for making hollow composite structures or vessels which includes the steps of: A) heating a mixture of thermoplastic matrix and reinforcing fibres wrapped over a rigid or semi-rigid thermoplastic liner or bladder above the melting point of the th ...
The aim of this work is to integrate polypropylene/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposite matrices into conventional fibre-reinforced composites. Two types of composite have been considered: long fibre-reinforced composites from co-woven glass fibre and nanoc ...
Bone is a natural cellular composite, with a gradient structure going from a loose interconnected core to an outer dense wall, thus minimising bone weight while maintaining a high mechanical performance. Bone can be repaired using either auto- or allo- gra ...
The influence of the primary molecular parameters chain configuration, architecture and molecular weight (MW) on the mode of mechanical breakdown is discussed for two series of (amorphous) thermoplastic polymers, methyl methacrylate glutarimide copolymers ...
