PARTICULARITIES CONCERNING THE PRODUCTIONS AND TESTING OF PLATES ACHIEVED BY THE THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES

摘要

An efficient and cost effective dry coating process was developed to deposit polymer powders on continuous fibers and produce thermoplastic matrix towpregs to be processed into composites. The technological solutions used in the coating line construction and the influence of the processing parameters on manufactured glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (GF/PP) towpregs are detailed in this paper.
