Influence of processing on the fiber length degradation in fiber reinforced plastic parts

Abstract: Fiber reinforced plastics are gaining importance for their weight saving potential due to the influence of sociopolitical topics such as energy efficiency and conservation of resources. Long fibers and short fibers are increasingly used for structural components. The high requirements on the performance in automotive, aerospace and also the sports and leisure sector demand a full exploitation of these materials´ potential. For optimization a precise understanding of the processing effects is inevitable. In thi… Show more

“…The properties of the fiber microstructure (orientation, length, and concentration), especially in the case of discontinuously reinforced plastics such as SFT or LFT, can usually only be influenced to a very limited extent by its constituent properties and compound constitution (initial fiber orientation, initial fiber length and initial fiber concentration). However, these properties are rather a result of the processing [13,26,[33][34][35][36][37]. One of the most widely used processing methods is injection molding, in which even complex parts can be produced in large quantities [32,37].…”

“…Due to the interaction of the fibers, the fiber orientation depends on the fiber length and concentration [5], which also applies to interchanged dependencies. The fiber length depends on the fiber orientation and concentration while the distribution of fibers depends inversely on the fiber orientation and length [36]. Due to wall adhesion and mold cooling, high shear rates are present in the skin or shear layers, and lower shear rates are found in the core layer in the middle of the cavity.…”

“…The efficiency of fibre reinforcement increases as interruptions between fibres, in the plastic mass, become increasingly rare [6]. Between the complexity of the achievable components and their mechanical properties there is a correlation depending on the fibre length [7,8]. The most commonly used reinforcements are flax, hemp as well as jute, kenaf, sisal or abaka reinforcements [6].…”
