Production of fiber-reinforced composites by pultrusion with thermoplastic powder pretreatment

摘要

To produce fiber-reinforced composites, a continuous fiber strand is pulled through an agitated aqueous thermoplastic powder dispersion via deflectors. Following removal of the water phase the thermoplastic powder is heated and melted onto the fibers. Finally the fiber strand is impregnated with a thermoplastic melt by melt pultrusion.
