Compression Thermal Analysis of the Consolidation Process for Thermoplastic Matrix Composites

Abstract: Consolidation of thermoplastic prepregs was measured with an integrally- heated parallel platen apparatus attached to a servo-hydraulic mechanical testing machine. The apparatus was designed as a small-scale, well-instrumented press The lamination or consolidation process was viewed as a superposition of three distinctly occurring events identified as void volume reduction, fiber spreading, and autohesion. Consolidation was measured in relation to the original prepreg thickness and was reported as compressive … Show more

“…The compression thermal analysis (CTA) 25 represents an isobaric pressing of a plate specimen at steadily increasing tool temperature, while cavity height is being detected. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the compression of semi-crystalline thermoplastics, which is considered to be a relation to the degree of consolidation.…”
