The hybrid-composite rear load floor uses unidirectional (UD) thermoplastic tapes plus direct-long-fiber thermoplastic (D-LFT) composites. Thermoplastic tapes provided high stiffness/strength in a ...
It’s long been established that retained fiber length has a direct impact on mechanical properties of composites. Shown above, flexural modulus is plotted against notched Charpy impact strength for a ...
Materials maker Solvay SA has increased capacity for long-fiber compounds in Belgium and has expanded a U.S. research and development center. The investment in more capacity for Xencor-brand ...
