Carbon fiber materials are gradually becoming known as high-end materials and subconsciously branded as such. Carbon fiber prepregs are widely used in the fields of rail transportation, aerospace and automotive manufacturing as an excellent material for lightweighting. Carbon fiber is no way for direct production of products, need to be composite with its material to get carbon fiber composites, carbon fiber composites professional term for carbon fiber prepreg, carbon fiber prepreg components are mainly for carbon fiber filament and resin.
Carbon fiber prepreg of the two main materials, carbon fiber filament, carbon fiber filament is in the form of bundles, a single carbon fiber filament is less than one-third of the thickness of the hair, a bunch of carbon fiber filament bundles with hundreds of carbon fiber filaments. Carbon fiber filaments are solid and do not stick to each other, so other substances are needed to bond the materials together. This is where the other main material of the prepreg comes into play. Resin can be divided into thermoplastic resin and thermosetting resin. The main types of thermoplastic resins are PC, PPS, PEEK, etc. Thermoplastic prepregs are composites of these types of resins with carbon fiber filaments. Thermoplastic prepreg combines the advantages of thermoplastic resin and carbon fiber yarn, not only has the advantage that thermoplastic material can be recycled, but also has the super high tensile strength of carbon fiber material.
Thermoplastic carbon fiber prepreg is a more environmentally friendly lightweight material that is not only resistant to corrosion and high temperatures, but can also be recycled.
