Some equipment and material manufacturers offer thermoplastic training. Pervo Paint, for example, offers two-day training that covers safety and handling of the product and how to apply it properly.
CW Tech Days are virtual events dedicated to the topics impacting the composites industry today. Access past event recordings and register for upcoming Tech Days.
Some thermoplastics, polyethylenes principally, can be crosslinked. Figure 5.1 proposes an arbitrary classification of some of these processes. the share of thermoplastic composites (mainly PP) can be ...
Thermoplastics and thermoplastic resins are raw, unshaped polymers that turn to liquid when heated and turn solid when cooled. They can be repeatedly remelted and remolded, allowing parts and scraps ...
Currently, a growing number of thermoplastic composite parts and assemblies can be found in state-of-the-art aircraft. Examples include multi-ribs concepts in many aircraft programmes and welded fixed ...
The increasing demand for thermoplastic composites across industries such as automotive, aerospace, construction, and consumer goods are driving market growth. In the automotive sector, for example, ...
Researchers around the world are working to optimise the properties of PLA-based plastics, for example by mixing them with other thermoplastic base materials. However, this is a real challenge.
A team from Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands recently investigated how a novel process can create thermoplastic blends with high interfacial strength using two base materials, ...
