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 the pel...

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...

Does adding glass fiber affect the gloss of PP material
2024-04-30
The addition of glass fibers to the polymer usually makes its surface rougher, which can lead to a reduction in gloss. The specific degree of impact depends on the proportion, length and shape of the glass fiber added, as well as processing conditions and other factors. Glass fiber is relatively rough, and incompatible with plastic, added to the plastic material, resulting in a less smooth surface...

The application of composite materials in the field of electric vehicle battery housing
2024-05-11
Arguably one of the most important components in an electric vehicle (EV) is what keeps the battery dry, strong and safe in the event of a crash or fire. There are many terms used to describe this component: housing, casing, tray, box and enclosure; the main materials currently used for battery pack enclosures include steel, aluminum and plastic composites. Not surprisingly, a complete EV ba...

Fiber types and fiber forms for composite materials
2024-06-28
Types of fibers used in composite materials The structural properties of composite materials are mainly derived from fiber reinforcement. In composite materials, the fibers held in place by the matrix resin help to enhance tensile strength, enhancing the properties of the final part such as strength and stiffness, while minimizing weight. Fiber properties are determined by the fiber manufacturing ...
