Copolymer vs. Homopolymers: What Are the Differences? 2024-03-25

Copolymers and homopolymers are distinct groups of polymers defined by the makeup and arrangement of their chemical structures. Homopolymers are distinguished by the fact that they are formed of one type of repeated monomer. Conversely, copolymers are made of at least two variants of monomers in any form of repeating pattern. While copolymers and homopolymers have some varying mechanical propertie...

Inventory of several common Non-Destructive Testing methods for composite materials 2024-03-04

About Composite material is a new material which uses advanced material preparation technology and optimally combines material components with different properties. In the 1940s, due to the needs of the aviation industry, glass fiber reinforced plastics were developed, and the name composite materials has appeared since then. Since the 1950s, high-strength and high-modulus fibers such as carbon fi...

Five major carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites 2024-03-04

Polymers are one of the most commonly used and well-known materials of the 21st century. However, pure polymers are not sufficient for use in industries that require great strength and excellent heat resistance. As a result, thermoplastic composites are the preferred materials, and creating these new materials will require overcoming obstacles such as high energy consumption, expensive material co...

LFT & SFT 2024-02-29

LFT is the product name for a family of long fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials for Injection Molding, Compression Molding and Extrusion applications. These materials differ from standard thermoplastic compounds in the length of the fiberglass in the pellets. Retention of fiber length in the finished part is key to the performance of LFT. The fiberglass is continuous within th...
