Prepreg materials are pre-impregnated fibers for the manufacture of
composite components, and are widely applied in the wind energy and
aerospace industries. The properties of these semi-finished
products, the type of processing, and the component design
collectively play an important role in the quality and suitability
for mass production of a fiber composite component. This book
provides a holistic approach, showing the influence and mutual
interaction of the parameters involved in the production of fiber
composite components. ""Composite Technology"" gives an overview of
the current state of prepreg technology, generation, and
development as well as their variations and trends. It covers the
fundamentals of prepreg preparation and starting materials;
processing technology and automation; interactions between
construction/design and material and between tooling material and
composite components/design; testing of prepreg semi-finished
products and components; and typical error patterns. New in this
second edition is an extension of the coverage to include
thermoplastic prepregs (TPPs) and their production, processing, and
testing. Further updates on prepreg production and processing are
also included.
This useful guide provides a hands-on approach to making carbon
fibers and their composites for those who need to use these
materials. The book begins with a brief history of carbon fiber
development, with definition of the terminology for all forms of
solid carbon, and the properties of elemental carbon and its
allotropic forms. Various carbon fiber precursors, surface
treatments, and sizes for a range of carbon fiber types available
on the world market are presented. The book gives an excellent
overview of the chemical and physical properties of carbon fibers
and their composites. In addition, common test and analysis methods
for demonstrating these properties are presented. Several chapters
describe typical processing methods for carbon fibers with dry and
also impregnated semi-finished products in applications such as
aerospace, wind, and automotive, as well as the construction
industry. The advantages and disadvantages of various manufacturing
processes based on application examples are shown. Considerations
regarding C-fiber recycling and sustainability (environmental
footprint) as well as new developments in the field of carbon fiber
manufacturing are intended to assist the reader in the selection
and understanding of material, process, and design to achieve
successful implementation.
