This study investigates the influence of processing parameters of infrared-assisted automated fiber placement (AFP) on the mechanical and thermal properties of carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites. In particular, two processing parameters—compaction force...
Additive manufacturing of PEEK-based continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites with high mechanical properties(Article) Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) printing is a promising method to increase the mechanical properties of FDM printed...
These past decades, the ability of thermoplastic composites to be welded has been of great interest, with numerous studies investigating the process and mechanical strength of joints for quasi-static loadings. The present study aims to determine the loading speed...
From a circular plastic economy perspective, a new configuration of Metal Acetylacetonate Bidentate Ligand Interaction (MABLI) mechanism adapted to the chemistry of the recyclable Elium® thermoplastic resins has been recently discovered to initiate the free radical...
In this research work, the effectiveness of hot pressing in improving the durability of 3D-printed thermoplastic composites subjected to cyclic hygrothermal aging is experimentally demonstrated. By varying the type (short or continuous) and orientation (unidirectional...
