Long Carbon Fiber In recent years, due to the growing demand for lightweight in various industries around the world (automotive, aerospace, military, building and civil engineering, etc.), and the increasingly strict requirements for the use of environmentally friendly and sustainable materials, the use of fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites in various industries has been increasing. Especially for carbon fiber reinforced composites, there is still a high recycling value after the products are discarded after completing their life cycle, and through effective recycling technology and methods, the cost of carbon fiber reinforced composites can be significantly reduced. The recovery method of fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites is closely related to the shape and forming method of fiber reinforced in resin. Take carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites as an example. The reinforced forms of carbon fiber mainly include short fiber reinforced, long fiber reinforced and continuous fiber reinforced, and the main preparation method is melt forming. For thermoplastic resins with high melting point, such as polyetherimide (PEI) and polyetherether ketone (PEEK), solvent forming can be adopted. Due to the linear molecular structure of thermoplastic resin, it is easy to transform from solid state to liquid state at high temperature. Therefore, thermoplastic composite materials can be recycled by remelting and reshaping method, which is more recyclable than thermosetting resin matrix composite materials.

What is long carbon fiber PLA? While biobased polylactic acid (PLA) thermoplastics are relatively eco-friendly and easy to recycle, composites such as carbon fibre are much stronger. Long carbon fiber reinforced PLA is an outstanding material that is strong, lightweight, has excellent layer bonding and low warpage. It has excellent layer adhesion and low warpage. Long carbon fiber PLA is stronger than other 3D-printed materials. Long carbon fiber filaments are not as strong as other 3D materials, but tougher. The increased rigidity of carbon fiber means increased structural support but reduced overall flexibility. It is slightly more brittle than regular PLA. When printed, the material is a dark glossy color that shimmers slightly under direct light. What is long carbon fiber? Long carbon fiber reinforced composites offer siginificant weight savings and provide optimum strength and stiffness properties in reinforced thermoplastics.

Long carbon fiber Carbon fiber has many excellent properties, high axial strength and modulus, low density, high specific performance, no creep, super high temperature resistance in non-oxidizing environment, good fatigue resistance, specific heat and electrical conductivity between non-metal and metal, small coefficient of thermal expansion and anisotropy, good corrosion resistance, good X-ray transmission. Good electrical and thermal conductivity, good electromagnetic shielding, etc. Compared with traditional glass fiber, carbon fiber has more than 3 times of Young's modulus; it is about 2 times of Young's modulus compared with Kevlar fiber, which is insoluble and swollen in organic solvents, acids and alkalis, and has outstanding corrosion resistance. But is there a way to reduce the price of carbon fiber? That is to mix it with relatively cheap nylon material to form a composite material with good performance and meet the requirements. In that case, there is no doubt that carbon fiber nylon will definitely have a place in the composite material. Nylon itself is an engineering plastic with excellent performance, but moisture absorption, poor dimensional stability of products. Strength and hardness are also far from metal. In order to overcome these shortcomings, as early as before the 70s. People have used carbon fiber or other varieties of fibers for reinforcement to improve its performance. Carbon fiber reinforced nylon materials have developed rapidly in recent years, because nylon and carbon fiber are excellent performance in the field of engineering plastics materials, its compound material synthesis reflects the superiority of the two, such as strength and rigidity than unreinforced nylon is much higher, high temperature creep is small, thermal stability has improved significantly, good dimensional accuracy, wear resistance. Excellent damping, compared with glass fiber reinforced has better performance. Therefore, carbon fiber reinforced nylon (CF / PA) composites have developed rapidly in recent years. And for 3D printing using SLS technology is the most suitable technical means to achieve carbon fiber reinforced nylon.

PA12-LCF If the base material is compared to concrete, the fiber is like steel reinforcement, and mixing the two is like adding steel reinforcement to concrete. If there is only concrete, the castings will easily crack under external forces, but once the high-strength reinforcement is added to it and the concrete wraps it sufficiently, they will become a single unit. When the object is subjected to external forces, the rebar can withstand most of the external forces, making the structural strength of this whole very high.

In the modified engineering plastics industry, long fiber reinforced composite material refers to long carbon fiber, long glass fiber, aramid fiber or basalt fiber and polymer matrix, through a series of special modification methods to produce composite materials. The biggest characteristic of long fiber composites is that they have superior properties that the original materials do not have. If they are classified according to the length of the added reinforcement materials, they can be divided into long fiber, short fiber and continuous fiber composites. As mentioned in the beginning, long carbon fiber composite material is a kind of long fiber reinforced composite material, which is a new fiber material with high strength and high modulus fiber. LCF carbon fiber composite exhibits high strength along the fiber axis, and has the characteristics of high strength and light weight. It has the comprehensive mechanical properties such as density, specific strength and specific modulus that are incomparable to other materials. It is a new material with excellent mechanical properties and many special functions. What are the properties of Long Carbon fiber? Corrosion resistance: LCF carbon fiber composite material has good corrosion resistance, can adapt to harsh working environment; Uv resistance: strong ability to resist UV, products by UV damage problem is small; Wear resistance and impact resistance: compared with the general material advantage is more obvious; Low density: lower than the density of many metal materials, can achieve the purpose of lightweight; Other properties: such as reducing warpage, improving rigidity, impact modification, increasing toughness, electrical conductivity and so on. Compared with glass fiber, LCF carbon fiber composite has higher strength, higher rigidity, lower weight, and excellent electrical conductivity.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic Carbon fiber reinforced plastic composite (CFRP) is a lightweight, strong material that can be used to make a wide range of products used in everyday life. It is a term used to describe fiber reinforced composites with carbon fiber as the main structural component. Note that the "P" in CFRP can also stand for "plastic" rather than "polymer." Typically, CFRP composites use thermosetting resins such as epoxy, polyester, or vinyl esters. Despite the use of thermoplastic resins in CFRP composites, "carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites" often uses its own acronym, CFRTP composites. LFT-G focuses on LFT&LFRT. Long Glass Fiber Series (LGF) & Long Carbon Fiber Series. Compared with Short Carbon Fiber, Long Carbon Fiber has more excellent performance in mechanical properties. It is  more suitable for large products and structural parts. It has 1-3 times higher (toughness) than Short Carbon Fiber, and the tensile strength(strength and rigidity) is increased by 0.5-1 times. Properties of CFRP composites Composites reinforced with carbon fiber are different from other FRP composites that use traditional materials such as glass fiber or arylon fiber. Advantages of CFRP composites include: Light weight: Conventional fiberglass reinforced composites using continuous fiberglass and 70% fiberglass (glass weight/gross weight) typically have a density of 0.065 lb/cubic inch. A CFRP composite with the same 70% fiber weight might typically have a density of 0.055 lb/cubic inch. Increased strength: Carbon fiber composites not only weigh less, but CFRP composites are stronger and stiffer per unit weight. This is true when comparing carbon fiber composites to glass fibers, and even more so when comparing metals. For example, when comparing steel to CFRP composites, a good rule of thumb is that a carbon fiber structure of the same strength typically weighs 1/5 as steel. You can imagine why car companies are looking into using carbon fiber instead of steel. When comparing CFRP composites to aluminum (one of the lightest metals used), the standard assumption is that an aluminum structure of the same strength might weigh 1.5 times as much as a carbon fiber structure. Of course, there are many variables that can change this comparison. Grades and qualities of materials may vary, and for composites, the manufacturing process, fiber structure and quality need to be considered. Disadvantages of CFRP composites Cost: As amazing as the material is, there's a reason carbon fiber can't be used in every situation. Currently, the cost of CFRP composites is too high in many cases. Depending on current market conditions (supply and demand), the type of carbon fiber (aerospace grade versus commercial grade), and bundle size, carbon fiber prices can vary significantly. On a per-pound basis, carbon fiber can cost anywhere from five to 25 times more than fiberglass. The difference is even greater when comparing steel with CFRP composites. Electrical conductivity: This can be a plus or minus for carbon fiber composites, depending on the application. Carbon fiber is extremely conductive, while glass fiber is insulating. Many applications use fiberglass instead of carbon fiber or metal, strictly because of electrical conductivity. For example, in the utility industry, many products require the use of fiberglass. This is one of the reasons why the ladder uses fiberglass as the ladder rail. The chance of electric shock is much lower if the fiberglass ladder comes into contact with the power cord. The situation with CFRP ladders is different. Although the cost of CFRP composites remains high, new technological advances in manufacturing are continuing to provide more cost effective products. Application of PP-LCF Long Carbon Fiber as the reinforcement material of CFRP, its proportion is only 1/4 of iron, specific strength is 10 times that of iron, elastic modulus is 7 times that of iron, carbon fiber excellent physical properties are played in various fields from sports goods to aircraft.
