“…To fabricate the FRP composite, two types of resin, namely thermoset resin and thermoplastic resin, are used along with reinforcement [15]. Thermoset polymers such as epoxy and polyester are widely used, which have threedimensional cross-linked networks between molecules that lead to poor ductility.…”

Fiber-reinforced composites have established as a high-performance composite of modern advanced structures in various sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and marine industries. Non-conventional machining processes are preferred for the ease of manufacturing operations, which incorporates the machining of high strength and anisotropic material. Non-conventional manufacturing processes produce complicated shaped profiles and better surface characteristics. Abrasive water jet (AWJ) machining is an emerging technology that offers an excellent alternative among the various advanced machining processes due to its process capabilities and excellent machining quality. AWJ machining has fascinated immense attention in the fields of fiber-reinforced composite materials to produce intricate industrial components and attracted the researchers and production industries. It has become well-known in all key areas of researches. Over the past 30 years, lots of research work has been carried out to describe the machining performances among the studied process parameters. This paper reviews the research progresses and integrated functions of AWJ machining in terms of mechanism and machining performances, which includes aspects such as mathematical modeling and optimization. AWJ machining procedure and performance capability are reviewed and depicted in detail. Also, a comprehensive conclusion of this review, along with future perspective, is explored subsequently. The current review work will help future researchers for the proper selection of different FRP material composite compositions and AWJ machining parameters to achieve better performances. The collection of this review literature will also support the production operations in the future.

“…Thermoplastic based composites show a considerably higher static fracture toughness compared to the thermoset (epoxy) composites [3]. Important advantages of thermoplastics are their unlimited shelf life, low curing duration, maintainability (i.e., the ability to correct defects and damage by reheating), the possibility of reforming defective products [31], high environmental resistance, and high chemical resistance including to aviation fuels and oils [1].…”

Structure and Properties of Polysulfone Filled with Modified Twill Weave Carbon Fabrics

Carbon fabrics are widely used in polymer based composites. Nowadays, most of the advanced high-performance composites are based on thermosetting polymer matrices such as epoxy resin. Thermoplastics have received high attention as polymer matrices due to their low curing duration, high chemical resistance, high recyclability, and mass production capability in comparison with thermosetting polymers. In this paper, we suggest thermoplastic based composite materials reinforced with carbon fibers. Composites based on polysulfone reinforced with carbon fabrics using polymer solvent impregnation were studied. It is well known that despite the excellent mechanical properties, carbon fibers possess poor wettability and adhesion to polymers because of the fiber surface chemical inertness and smoothness. Therefore, to improve the fiber–matrix interfacial interaction, the surface modification of the carbon fibers by thermal oxidation was used. It was shown that the surface modification resulted in a noticeable change in the functional composition of the carbon fibers’ surface and increased the mechanical properties of the polysulfone based composites. Significant increase in composites mechanical properties and thermal stability as a result of carbon fiber surface modification was observed.

“…Fiber reinforced polymer composites with strong mechanical properties are increasingly used in aerospace products [1,2]. According to an investigation recently carried out in collaboration with Chinese Aircraft Industrial (Group) Co., around 98% composites used in the aerospace industry are fabricated using autoclave curing technologies, where the material is placed in a chamber and heated by the circulating airflow [3].…”

Microwave curing technologies have many advantages in manufacturing fiber reinforced polymer composite materials used in aerospace products, compared with traditional autoclave curing technologies. However, the uneven electromagnetic field of microwave in the cavity of the curing chamber results in uneven temperature on the surface of composite laminates during curing, which has been a major obstacle in industrial applications worldwide. Existing methods attempted to solve the problem by the random superposition of uneven electromagnetic fields, but the results were still not satisfactory to meet the high quality requirements of aerospace parts. This paper reveals the one-to-one correspondence between heating patterns of composite parts and microwave curing system settings, and reports a new concept to solve this problem by continuously monitoring and compensating the uneven temperature distribution in real-time. Experimental results from both fiber optical fluorescence sensors and infrared thermal imagers showed significant improvement in temperature uniformity compared with existing methods.
