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.

TPU introduction Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomers are linear polymers formed by the copolymerization of hard and soft chain segments, which have physical properties such as tensile, abrasion and heat resistance, and elasticity similar to rubber. Thanks to the excellent product performance, the application fields of TPU are expanding, including daily consumer goods, construction, medical, military, automotive, agriculture and many other fields. New products and applications are also emerging, such as large-diameter hoses (shale gas extraction), charging cables for new energy vehicles, foamed TPU (ETPU) sports shoes midsoles prepared by supercritical foaming process, invisible braces, etc. Fiber reinforced modified TPU composites TPU has good impact resistance, but in some applications, high modulus of elasticity and very hard material is required. Glass fiber reinforced modification is a common technical means to improve the elastic modulus of the material. Through modification, thermoplastic composites with many advantages such as high elastic modulus, good insulation, heat resistance, good elastic recovery, good corrosion resistance, impact resistance, low coefficient of expansion and dimensional stability can be obtained. Long glass fiber VS Short glass fiber Compared with the short fiber, long 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 fiber, and the tensile strength is increased by 0.5-1 times. Thermoplastics VS Thermosets Thermosets: when heated for the first time, they can soften and flow, and when heated to a certain temperature, they produce a chemical reaction a cross-chain curing and become hard, this change is irreversible, after that, when heated again, they can no longer become soft and flow. Thermoplastic: thermoplastic resin is the main component, and various additives are added to form a plastic. Under certain temperature conditions, plastic can be softened or melted into any shape, and the shape remains unchanged after cooling; this state can be repeated many times and always has plasticity, and this repeated is only a physical change. Advantages Thermosets: Thermoset plastics retain their strength and shape even when heated. This makes thermoset plastics ideal for producing permanent parts and large, strong shapes. In addition, these parts have excellent strength properties (despite their fragility) and do not lose significant strength when exposed to higher operating temperatures. Thermoplastics: Thermoplastics are the most widely used plastics and typically have high chemical and thermal resistance, as well as a high strength structure that is not easily deformed. It is made of thermoplastic resin as the main component with various additives.  Thermoplastic products have excellent electrical insulation, with very low dielectric constant and dielectric loss, suitable for high Frequency and high voltage insulation materials.

What is PLA material? Polylactic acid (PLA) is a new bio-based and renewable biodegradable material made from starch extracted from renewable plant resources such as maize and cassava. Starch raw materials through saccharification to obtain glucose, and then from the glucose and a certain strain fermentation into high purity lactic acid, and then through chemical synthesis of a certain molecular weight of polylactic acid, the polymerization chain is as follows. Starch (refined) -- - > glucose (fermentation) -- - > lactic acid (cyclic) -- - > lactide (polymerization) -- - > the PLA PLA is the "green plastic" with the greatest development potential in the 21st century. It has good mechanical properties and transparency, but its shortcomings such as slow crystallization rate and poor heat resistance limit its popularization and use. Therefore, some toughening method is often used to enhance its performance, but at the expense of transparency or complex process. What is PLA LGF material? The rigidity of the fiber makes it play the role of skeleton support in the polymer matrix. When the polymer is heated, the movement of the chain segment is limited, thus improving the heat resistance of the material At present, carbon fiber and glass fiber can be used to enhance the modification of PLA. Among these fibers, carbon fiber and glass fiber are widely used because of their high strength and modulus. The composite material was prepared by adding fiber into PLA. After heat treatment, the modification effect of the composite material was the best, and the heat resistance temperature was increased by nearly 40℃ compared with that of pure PLA. Two or more materials with synergistic effect can be added at the same time to improve the thermal performance of PLA. The test results show that the Vica softening temperature of the composites exceeds 140℃.
