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...

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...
