Thermoset composites replaced metals on vehicle exteriors in semi-structural/vertical and fully structural/horizontal body panels starting in the 1950s. Thermoplastic composites have been used ...

The viscosity of the thermoplastic matrix at the temperature during bending is crucial for the mobility of the fibers to move and reposition. AFPT Group has produced successful bending tubes made with ...

The main advantages of this technology are the following: • Low-cost raw materials (matrix), i.e. matrix cost<2 €/kg; • Competitive and fast manufacturing with injection time about 5 second and a ...

First, the matrix being thermoplastic means that at end-of-life, a KyronTEX TM part can be re-melted and reformed or shredded and reused as reinforcement in new composites with no irreversible ...
