“…The use of CFRTP helps in drastically lowering the overall weight. Rising demand for CFRTP as an alternative to metals such as steel and aluminum is expected to stimulate growth in such applications [148]. Similarly, the use of CFRTP-based parts is increasing compared with the use of metallic-based parts in airplanes and automobiles, which could decrease weight, greenhouse gas emissions, and consumption of energy.…”

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers are considered a promising composite for many industrial applications including in the automation, renewable energy, and aerospace industries. They exhibit exceptional properties such as a high strength-to-weight ratio and high wear resistance and stiffness, which give them an advantage over other conventional materials such as metals. Various polymers can be used as matrices such as thermosetting, thermoplastic, and elastomers polymers. This comprehensive review focuses on carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polymers due to the advantages of thermoplastic compared to thermosetting and elastomer polymers. These advantages include recyclability, ease of processability, flexibility, and shorter production time. The related properties such as strength, modulus, thermal conductivity, and stability, as well as electrical conductivity, are discussed in depth. Additionally, the modification techniques of the surface of carbon fiber, including the chemical and physical methods, are thoroughly explored. Overall, this review represents and summarizes the future prospective and research developments carried out on carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polymers.

“…As the temperature of the conductive threads increased, the thermoplastic matrix became fluidic above its melting point and highly bendable. This approach constitutes a simple but versatile method for the postforming of a carbon composite while maintaining its solid state and hardness [ 30 ]. This approach can also be used to repair flaws in FRP composites.…”

“…4,5 Majority of deployable space structures achieve deformability through bending and folding. 6,7 Considering the industrial application of SpFRPC, the evaluation of large deformation bending responses at different temperatures is essential for quantifying the deployable performance. 8,9 Another critical parameter quantifying foldable coupon performance is the ultimate curvature range and failure modes.…”

This study investigates the large deformation bending properties of a single-ply fabric reinforced polymer composite (SpFRPC) by the innovative counterweight balanced column bending test (CWB-CBT) and microscopic analysis.The influences of temperatures and asymmetric weave structure on SpFRPC's bending properties are emphasized. In glassy state at 15 C, SpFRPC failed in a brittle manner, with the ultimate moment and initial bending stiffness per width 19.16 Nmm and 448.61 Nmm 2 . The bending capacity decreased to negligible at 40 C in the rubbery state but vice versa for deformability, reaching the curvature of 0.135 mm À1 within maximum accommodation of this CWB-CBT fixture. The asymmetric weave structure enabled larger deformability when bent outward than inward, resulting in more significant stiffness and ultimate moment inward than outward. The transverse yarns' gaps were the weak locations of bending fracture, especially at weave intersection edges. In general, the present work provides an exploratory study for understanding the folding mechanical properties of the SpFRPC.
