Reinforcing Materials in Thermoplastic Composites

In recent years, fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites based on thermoplastic 

resins have developed rapidly, leading to a worldwide upsurge in the research and

 development of such high-performance composites. Thermoplastic composite materials 

refer to composite materials made from thermoplastic polymers such as polyethylene (PE),

 polyamide (PA), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyetherimide (PEI), polyetherketone ketone 

(PEKK), and polyetherketone (PEEK), with various continuous/discontinuous fibers (such as

 carbon fibers, glass fibers, aramid fibers, etc.) as reinforcing materials.

Thermoplastic resin based composites mainly include long fiber reinforced granular material (LFT) 

continuous fiber reinforced prepreg MT and glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (CMT).

 According to different usage requirements, the resin matrix includes thermoplastic engineering

 plastics such as PPE. PAPRT, PELPCPES, PEEKPI, PA, and other fiber types, including all possible

 fiber types such as glass dried vinylon fiber and boron vinylon. With the maturation of thermoplastic 

resin based composite technology and the development of recyclability, this variety of composite 

materials has developed rapidly. In developed countries in Europe and the United States, thermal 

bonding materials have accounted for more than 30% of the total amount of tree based composite materials.
