PLA Composite Pellets with 20-60% Long Carbon Fiber Content

PLA materials are current pioneering materials in biodegradable materials. Long carbon fiber Reinforced polylactic acid PLA modified materials are likely to become global advantages in future green materials.

PLA information PLA, also known as polylactide, refers to the polyester polymer obtained by polymerization of lactic acid as the main raw material, usually using renewable plant resources (such as corn, cassava, etc.) made of starch as raw material. It is a new type of renewable biodegradable material. PLA material characteristics The raw materials are renewable and relatively easy to obtain even if used as 3D printing materials, which can be used for large-scale production; The PLA has good thermal stability and solvent resistance. The processing temperature of PLA is between 170 ℃ and 230℃, and the finished product has good heat resistance. Good permeability and transparency luster, can be processed by extrusion, spinning, biaxial stretching, injection blow molding and other ways, tensile and bending modulus can be comparable to the traditional plastic resin; High biocompatibility. The monomer material of PLA, L-lactic acid, is an endogenous active substance in human body. Therefore, the finished product printed by 3D printing material PLA is non-toxic to human body and can be absorbed by human body. It has good degradability. Different from the degradation methods of other 3D printing materials, PLA is embedded in the soil and completely degraded by microorganisms in nature under specific conditions to generate carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide generated directly enters the soil organic matter or is absorbed by plants instead of being discharged into the air, which is recognized as an environmentally friendly material. Application of PLA materials Due to the good mechanical and physical properties of PLA material, PLA material is widely used, including various food containers, packaged food, fast food lunch boxes, etc.  At the same time, with its advantages in compatibility and degradability, PLA can also play a large role in the medical field, which can be made into medical tissue skeleton material and medical carrier for human body. In addition to its excellent tensile strength and extensibility, PLA can be produced by various common processing methods, such as melt extrusion molding, injection molding, blow film molding, foam molding and vacuum molding.

PLA-LCF Polylactic acid or PLA is a bio-based polymer made using lactic acid from the sugar fermentation process. It was originally intended as a more environmentally friendly alternative to crude oil-based polymers and is technically biodegradable (albeit under industrial compost conditions). In addition to being the most widely used polymer in the desktop 3D printing space, PLA also has a variety of applications in packaging, disposable cups and more. Although it is very cost effective, easy to process and easy to 3D print, pure PLA has poor thermal and mechanical stability and is therefore not suitable for any high performance applications. One way to improve material properties is to use additives such as carbon fiber reinforced materials, as carbon fiber composites can provide an excellent mix of mechanical properties and heat resistance. 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. characteristic The fracture strain is moderate (8-10%), so the silk is not brittle, but strong toughness Very high melt strength and viscosity Good dimensional accuracy and stability Easy to handle on many platforms High attractive matte black surface Excellent impact resistance and lightness Application of long carbon fiber filliing PLA material Long carbon fiber filling PLA is an ideal material for frames, braces, shells, propellers, tools, instruments, etc. Virtually no bending will occur.

In the modified engineering plastics industry, long fiber reinforced composites are composites made from long carbon fiber, long glass fiber, aramid fiber or basalt fiber and a polymer matrix through a series of special modification methods.  The most important feature of long fiber composites is that they have superior performance that the original materials do not have. If we classify them according to the length of the reinforcing materials added, they can be divided into: long fiber, short fiber and continuous fiber composites. Long carbon fiber composites are one kind of long fiber reinforced composites, which are a new fiber material with high strength and high modulus. It is a new material with excellent mechanical properties and many special functions. Application for reference What is the difference between Long glass fiber and Short glass fiber? As the fiber length increases, the stiffness and strength of the composite material gradually increases, but the dimensional complexity gradually decreases and the productivity gradually decreases. Compared with the short fiber, it 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 fiber, and the tensile strength is increased by 0.5-1 times.

PLA materials Polylactic acid (PLA), also known as polypropyleneglycolate, raw materials from corn, potatoes and other starch-containing food crops or crop straw cellulose, by modern biological fermentation technology to produce high-purity small molecules of lactic acid contained in the human body, and then the lactic acid prepared into a cyclic dimer propyleneglycolate, and then the propyleneglycolate ring-opening polymerization to produce polylactic acid and then after a special polymerization reaction The lactic acid is then prepared into a cyclic dimer, which is then ring-opened and polymerized to produce polylactic acid. Because of its reliable biosafety, biodegradability, environmental friendliness, good mechanical properties and easy processing, PLA has a broad application prospect in biomedical polymers, textile industry, plastic industry, furniture industry, agricultural land film and packaging industry, etc. The raw materials of PLA are sufficient and renewable, and the products made from it can be composted directly after use, and eventually can be completely degraded to CO2 and H2O. PLA is an environmentally friendly, green and sustainable polymer material. PLA-LCF materials Long carbon fiber reinforced composites offer significant weight savings and provide optimum strength and stiffness properties in reinforced thermoplastics. The excellent mechanical properties of long carbon fiber reinforced composites make it an ideal replacement for metals.

How does thermoplastic carbon fiber composite material achieve low cost and environmental protection? Thermoplastic carbon fiber composites are used to make parts for high-end machinery. They have excellent machinability, vacuum forming, stamping mold plasticity, and bending processability. For example, Teijin has been able to add a recycling process to the process according to special needs, and to shred and mold the corners of thermoplastic carbon fiber composites after stamping to make recycled materials for making small products or for molding nuts and studs on carbon fiber prototypes. This method can greatly reduce the loss of raw materials, improve the efficiency of the use of thermoplastic carbon fiber composite materials, reduce the overall cost, and thus achieve the purpose of environmental protection. Thermoplastic carbon fiber products production process In addition, compared with thermoset carbon fiber composites, thermoplastic carbon fiber composites can shorten the molding cycle time due to its special process characteristics, which can further reduce the production cost in terms of production efficiency. 2. Is thermoplastic carbon fiber composite material only suitable for injection molding? From the process point of view, injection molding has a higher degree of automation compared with molding, and the raw material is not in contact with the outside world, so the product appearance quality is guaranteed, and there are no black spots, impurities, uneven colors, etc. The mechanical properties, dimensional stability and precision of the product are relatively higher. At present, Japan Toray, these carbon fiber giants in the application of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites, the main use of injection molding method, and this method is suitable for the production of complex-shaped parts and mass production. It should be noted, however, that thermoplastic carbon fiber composites using injection molding must be reinforced with short-cut or powdered carbon fibers, and this process is not applicable to continuous carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites. Compared to injection molding equipment, compression molding equipment and its mold structure are relatively simple and less expensive to manufacture. The molding equipment can be used for both thermosetting and thermoplastic resins, and in the molding of ...

PLA plastic Polylactic acid (PLA) fiber is made from starch raw materials such as corn and wheat, converted into lactic acid by fermentation, and then polymerized to obtain PLA, which is made by solution spinning or melt spinning. It is a fiber that completes the natural cycle and has biodegradability. The fiber does not use petroleum and other chemical materials at all, and its waste can be decomposed into carbon dioxide and water under the action of microorganisms in the soil and seawater, so it will not pollute the earth's environment. Since the initial raw material of this fiber is starch, its regeneration cycle is short, about one to two years, and the carbon dioxide it produces can be reduced in the atmosphere by plant photosynthesis. Long carbon fiber reinofrced PLA Carbon Fiber (CF) is an inorganic fiber containing more than 90% carbon. It is made by cracking carbonization of organic fibers under high temperature environment to form carbon main chain mechanism. As a new generation of reinforcing fibers, carbon fiber has excellent mechanical and chemical properties, including: 1) Light weight. Carbon fiber density and magnesium and beryllium is basically equivalent to less than 1/4 of steel, the use of carbon fiber composites as a structural component material can make the structure quality reduction of 30% -40%. 2) High strength and high modulus. The specific strength of carbon fiber is 5 times higher than that of steel and 4 times higher than that of aluminum alloy; the specific modulus is 1.3-12.3 times higher than that of other structural materials. 3) Small coefficient of expansion. Most of the carbon fiber at room temperature coefficient of thermal expansion is negative, the coefficient of thermal expansion under high temperature conditions is small, it is not easy due to high working temperature and expansion and deformation. 4) Good chemical corrosion resistance. In the acid, alkali environment are very stable performance, can be made into various types of chemical corrosion products. 5）Strong fatigue resistance. Its composite materials by stress fatigue millions of cycle test, strength retention rate is still 60%, while 40% of steel, aluminum for 30%, glass fiber reinforced plastic is only 20% -25%. Carbon fiber composites are the re-enforcement of carbon fiber. Although carbon fiber can be used alone and play a specific function, however, it is ultimately a brittle material, only with the combination of matrix materials to form carbon fiber composites, in order to better play the mechanical properties, to carry more load. Long carbon fiber & Short carbon fiber Long carbon fiber (LGF): 6-25mm/ High performance, high cost Short carbon fiber (SCF): less than 6mm/ Low performance, low cost In the composite material made of fibers is sheared or pulled, the fibers are pulled out from the matrix, such a pulling process is conducive to the absorption of energy provided by the loading, the longer the fibers are within a certain length, the greater the absorption of energy, and the more significant its strength. And in the same volume amount, due to the longer the single fiber, the fewer the number of fiber roots, the less stress concentration generated at the fiber end, the more difficult the destruction of the material. From the results of the feedback of practical applications, the various properties of long carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are more excellent than those of short fibers. ●Will the use of Xiamen LFT-G materials increase the cost? a. The unit cost of the material is slightly higher than aluminum alloy, but the cost/time of secondary metal processing can be saved, which is relatively advantageous overall. b. The unit cost of the material is slightly higher than that of a homogeneous staple fiber reinforced composite material, but LFRT has high dimensional stability, is not easily deformed, and can be assembled after demolding, which saves cooling/pressure retention time for molding and cost/time for fixing fixtures.
