Modeling Fiber Dispersion in a Single‐Screw Extruder for Long Fiber‐Reinforced Thermoplastics

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Fiber dispersion throughout the screw channel ABSTRACT Understanding the mechanics of fiber attrition during the plasticizing process is important in predicting the strength of long fiber‐reinforced thermoplastics (LFT) composites. Fiber dispersion has been found to impact fiber damage during processing and therefore final fiber length in the final ...

Poly(L‐Lactide‐Co‐ε‐Caprolactone)/glass Fiber Composites: Toward Improved Mechanical Properties of Polylactide‐Based Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Enhanced impact strength in PLLA‐based composites via ε‐caprolactone incorporation in the matrix. ABSTRACT Inherent brittleness and limited toughness of polylactide (PLA) restrict its use in high‐performance applications. To overcome these limitations, poly(L‐lactide) (PLLA) is often blended with more ductile thermoplastics or chemically modified ...

Linking Process‐Induced Degradation to Mechanical Property Deterioration in Flax Fiber–Reinforced Bio‐Polymer Matrix Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Effect of processing‐induced thermal degradation on the mechanical performance of thermoplastic flax fiber composites. ABSTRACT The drawback of biobased polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is their limited temperature stability, resulting from degradation, which restricts their processability in established composite manufacturing processes requiring ...

Developing a Heterogeneous Attenuation Model for Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites in the Kilohertz Region of the Ultrasonic Spectrum

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Acquisition, filtering and modeling by genetic programming (tree pattern) of the acoustic signal for fiber‐filled composites. ABSTRACT This study experimentally investigated the discrete phase contributions of fibers and entrapped air on the attenuation spectrum of a fiber‐filled thermoplastic composite and derives a mathematical expression for sound ...

Effects of Polyamide‐6 Bulk Plasma Treatment on Morphology, Crystallinity and Mechanical Properties of Microfibrillar Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Microfibrillar composite containing highly oriented, plasma‐treated PA6 microfibrils embedded within the polymer matrix. ABSTRACT Plasma treatment is often used to alter chemical surface characteristics of fibers or polymers, improving dispersion of components and interfacial adhesion between incompatible constituents in composites.
