OSTI ID:5567871
The incorporation of long fiber reinforcement in thermoplastic materials has generated a special class of materials with improved mechanical properties and advantages in regard to processing. These materials offer an alternative for applications currently employing short fiber reinforced injection molding compounds and long fiber reinforced thermoset plastics such as SMC, BMC, RTM, etc. This paper presents the properties of polyphenylene sulfide sheet composites reinforced with various fiber mat including glass, carbon fiber, and glass-carbon hybrid fiber. A comparison of PPS composite with other thermoplastic matrix composites will be discussed. Processing parameters and applications are also presented.
