The outstanding mechanical characteristics of carbon fibre (CF)-reinforced polymer composites, such as high strength, modulus, and thermal stability, make them appropriate for a variety of technical applications.
Composites based on CF have replaced traditional metal components in many structural sections of aircraft and cars due to their low weight and superior characteristics. The use of thermoplastic polymer matrices in long CF composites has been made possible by recent developments in composite manufacturing technologies.
In comparison to thermoset resin composites, thermoplastic resin composites provide a number of advantages, including quicker processing times, solventless processing, a longer shelf life, and good impact qualities.
The insufficient soaking of the fibre by the glue is one drawback, though. Due to the high melt viscosity of thermoplastic polymers, it is challenging to adequately wet CF surfaces. The CF surface is furthermore nonpolar and chemically inert.
Therefore, despite their promising performance, thermoplastic composites have had a very difficult time generating appropriate interfacial adhesion between the matrix and CF.
A polymer made up of aromatic rings connected by sulphides is called polyphenylene sulphide (PPS). It has exceptional thermal oxidation resistance, dimensional stability, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and abrasion.
It also demonstrates great flame retardancy. It is perfect for use in electrical and precise instrument applications, as well as in the automotive and aerospace industries, thanks to its great temperature stability.
The resulting composite can, however, acquire great mechanical strength and thermal stability by adding a reinforcing fibre, such CF. Due to its exceptional tensile strength, modulus, and low density, CF is one of the most widely used polymer reinforcing materials.
The Global Carbon fibre reinforced PPS market accountedfor $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The Carbon Fiber industry's most dependable partner in thermal processing technologies is Harper. Although pitch and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) are the main raw materials used to make carbon fibre, there is an increasing demand for alternative, affordable, and sustainable precursors.
Throughout the entire thermal process, Harper has the exceptional flexibility to adapt technology to process non-conventional precursors.
Customers can minimise their operating expenses and shorten the time spent in the oven by employing unconventional precursors such lignin, rayon, polyethylene, and mixes.
Tensile, open hole tensile, in-plane shear, compressive, flexural, interlaminar shear, single-bolt double lap joint, and single-bolt single lap joint tests were performed on carbon fibre fabric reinforced polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) laminates.
For creating design allowables for constructions integrating such thermoplastic-based composites, the resulting experimental database is crucial.
A temperature increase above the glass transition temperature of fibre fabric reinforced PPS laminates softens the matrix behaviour and significantly reduces the quality of adhesion at the fibre/matrix interface, resulting in reduced mechanical properties in-plane shear, compressive, flexural, and interlaminar shear, depending on the test and the laminate's stacking sequence.
