Processing properties of thermoplastic binders for reinforced plastics

摘要

The development of compositions and manufacturing technology for continuously reinforced thermoplastics(RTFs)began in the 1970s.The resultwas many varieties of glass fibre reinforced,carbon fibre reinforced,and organoplastics based on polyolefins,polyamides,polyesters,and different carbo-and heterocyclic linear polymers [1,2].RTFs have been used for the production of products in practically all areas of engineering,from aviation and space structures to sports and household goods [3,4].A stimulus for their intensive development and introduction was the unique combination of the constructional possibilities inherent in all reinforced plastics with the functional and processing possibilities inherent in thermoplastics.
