What are the types of thermoplastic carbon fiber composites? Carbon fiber thermoplastic composites are composites with carbon fiber as reinforcing material and thermoplastic resin as matrix. From the reinforcement of carbon fiber, it can be divided into long-cut carbon fiber (LCF)-reinforced thermoplastic composites, short-cut carbon fiber (SCF)-reinforced thermoplastic composites and continuous carbon fiber (CCF)-reinforced thermoplastic composites. Long-cut carbon fiber and short-cut carbon fiber mainly refers to the application length of carbon fiber materials, there is no strict fixed distinction between the two, generally between a few millimeters to a few centimeters, the more common specifications are 6mm, 12mm, 20mm, 30mm, 50mm. Carbon fiber thermoplastic composites can also be classified according to the thermoplastic resin, there are many common thermoplastic resins, such as PE, PP, PVC, etc., but the thermoplastic resin composites reinforced with carbon fibers are mostly used in aerospace, precision equipment, and other demanding working environments, so the carbon fiber thermoplastic composites are more commonly used in the form of polyetheretherketone (PEEK), PPS, polyimide ( Therefore, carbon fiber thermoplastic composites more often use polyether ether ketone (PEEK), PPS, polyimide (PI), polyetherimide (PAI) and other high-end thermoplastic resins as the matrix, to achieve the optimization of the material performance through the way of "strong alliance". 2. How do thermoplastic carbon fiber composites achieve low cost and environmental protection? Thermoplastic carbon fiber composites are used to make parts for high-end machinery, and they have excellent machinability, vacuum forming, stamping mold plasticity and bending processability, etc. Moreover, as long as the material reaches a certain temperature again, it can be remolded, which is recyclable and environmentally friendly in terms of the characteristics of the material itself. For example, Teijin Japan has been able to design a recycling process in the process according to the special needs, and the punched thermoplastic carbon fiber composite material trimmings are shredded, injection molded, and made into recycled materials, which can be used to make small products or injection molded nuts and studs on the carbon fiber prototype parts. This method can reduce the loss of raw materials to a greater extent, improve the use of thermoplastic carbon fiber composite materials, reduce the overall cost, so as to achieve the purpose of environmental protection. Production process of thermoplastic carbon fiber products In addition, thermoplastic carbon fiber composites, compared with thermoset carbon fiber composites, can shorten the molding cycle time due to its special process characteristics, which can further cut down the production cost in terms of production efficiency. 3. Are thermoplastic carbon fiber composites only suitable for injection molding? From the process point of view, injection molding and compression molding compared to a higher degree of automation, the raw material does not contact with the outside world, so the product appearance quality is guaranteed, there will be no black spots, impurities, uneven color and other issues, the mechanical properties of the product, dimensional stability and precision is relatively higher. At present, Toray, Japan, these carbon fiber giants in the application of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite materials, the main use of injection molding method, and this method is suitable for the production of complex shaped parts and mass production.

PP-LCF reinforced plastic With the development of new energy vehicles and in the trend of automotive lightweighting, carbon fiber reinforced materials are more and more widely used in the automotive field, especially carbon fiber reinforced PP materials. The modified PP reinforced by carbon fiber has a series of advantages such as light weight, high modulus, high specific strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion, high temperature resistance, heat and impact resistance, corrosion resistance, good vibration absorption, etc., which can be applied to automotive parts such as sub-instrument assembly. While composites may be more expensive to manufacture than standard metals or non-reinforced plastics, their extended life, higher fuel efficiency and lower manufacturing costs can offset the initial cost over the life of the product, making carbon fiber a viable alternative. Advanced composites outperform metals: Compared to traditional materials such as aluminum and metals, carbon fiber composites offer a high-performance solution for producing lighter weight, stronger structural components. Application for reference Projects our customers used to test The difference between LCF and SCF Short fiber-reinforced thermoplastic materials: fiber retention length <1M. Long fiber-reinforced thermoplastic materials: fiber retention length 6~25MM. The longer the length of carbon fiber retained, the better the mechanical properties. Uneven distribution of fibers in the cross section of short fiber particles. The arrangement of the particle cross-section of long fibers is orderly, so the overall structure is strong, so the hardness is definitely better than that of short fiber discs.

What is the Homo PP? Homopolymerized PP plastics are made by polymerizing a single propylene monomer and do not contain ethylene monomer in the molecular chain. Homopolymerized polypropylene pp plastic has the advantage of better strength. Disadvantages are poor impact resistance (more brittle), poor toughness, poor dimensional stability, easy aging, and poor long-term heat stability performance.  PP as a thermoplastic polymer began commercial production in 1957, is the first of the regulated stand-alone polymers. Its historical significance is further reflected in the fact that it has been the fastest growing major thermoplastic and has a very wide range of applications within the thermoplastic field, especially in fiber and filament, film extrusion, and injection molding processes.

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.
