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...

What is the effect of glass fiber content on flame retardancy of halogen-free flame retardant glass fiber reinforced polypropylene?
2024-04-30
Glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP/GF) has the advantages of low density, good heat and creep resistance, and high cost performance. It is widely used in electronic and electrical appliances, aerospace, automotive and other industries to prepare lightweight and thin-walled parts to replace steel, engineering plastics and other materials. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) of PP is about 17.0%, ...

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...

What are the influential factors of glass fiber reinforced nylon material?
2024-06-24
Polyamide is commonly known as nylon (PA), its main feature is that the polymer main chain contains a large number of amide groups, these amide groups are easy to form hydrogen bonds with each other, and the force between PA molecular chains is strong. Therefore, PA has the characteristics of high crystallinity, high surface hardness, good chemical stability, high tensile and bending strength, wea...

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 ...

Modulus and tensile strength of reinforced fibers for composite materials
2024-07-16
At present, as a common reinforcement fiber for composite materials, there are usually three types: carbon fiber, glass fiber and Kevlar (aramid) fiber. When used for composite reinforcement, the fibers can define the performance standards of the material and are responsible for playing a load-bearing role in the design structure, while the resin matrix is primarily responsible for transferring th...

Compare 11 properties of carbon fiber, aramid fiber and glass fiber
2024-07-16
1. Tensile strength Tensile strength refers to the maximum stress that a material can withstand before stretching. Some non-brittle materials deform before they break, but Kevlar® fibers, carbon fibers, and glass fibers are brittle and break almost without deforming. Tensile strength is measured in force per unit area (Pa or Pascals). Stress is force, and strain is deflection due to stress. Th...
