“…Continuous fiber composite materials have been widely used in the aerospace field, as well as in high-technology products [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Polymericcomposite materials offer many advantages compared to metals, mainly because they exhibit high strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio, excellent fatigue properties and corrosion resistance.…”

Continuous fiber composite/metal laminates (FMLs) offer significant improvements over currently available composite materials for aircraft structures due to their excellent fatigue endurance and low density. Glass fiber-epoxy composite laminae and aluminum foil (GLARE) are commonly used to obtain these hybrid laminates. In this work, FMLs were produced by treating the aluminum foil to promote adhesion bonding by two methods: sulphuric chromic acid etching (SCAE) and chromic acid anodization (CAA). The surface treatments were evaluated by contact angle, roughness and scanning electron microscopy techniques. In order to compare different families of fiber composite/metal laminates, carbon fiber and glass fiber fabrics were used as reinforcements for the hybrid laminates. The adhesion of the hybrid laminates was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and three-point bending test. CAA resulted in better wetting properties. The interlaminar shear strength results for both carbon fiber-epoxy/metal and glass fiber-epoxy metal, were close to the interlaminar shear strength results found in the literature (approx. 40.0 MPa).

“…This technology offers the integration of high volume fraction of fibre impregnation and composite consolidation in the same process (Giordano and Nicolais, 1997). The ease of production, the cost effectiveness and high productivity of this process made pultrusion one of the interesting methods over others for the fabrication fibre composite products (Sharma et al, 1998a;1998b).…”

“…Sarrionandia et al (2002) suggested that a key for optimization of the pultrusion process is to master the polymerization reaction in the pultrusion die. Giordano and Nicolais (1997) reported that die temperature, polymerization reaction, rheological change of resin and resin viscosities are the variables affecting the behaviour of the pultruded composites. They also explained that polymerization reaction and rheological change of the resin strongly influenced the final properties and the quality of the pultruded products.…”

Pultrusion is the one of technologies to fabricate the polymer composites to be used in many industries such as in aerospace, automotive and construction industries. The high performance pultruded products that are produced by this technique offer high fibre content of at least 70%. In order to produce high quality pultruded profiles, there are variables such as fibre impregnation, resin viscosity, pulling speed and curing temperature that have to be considered and these variables are discussed in this study. The review on the recent research in pultrusion process, types of resins used in pultrusion process and mechanical properties of pultuded composites are presented.

“…This technology offered the advantages of continuous production, integration of fiber impregnation and composite consolidation in the same process. This simplicity, efficiency, and flexibility of this process make it one of the most interesting methods for the fabrication of continuous fiber composite products with constant cross‐section 7. Most of the literature published8–13 discussed its applications, some aspects of pultruded composites and the pultrusion process from the point view of monitoring the quality of incoming resins.…”

The thermokinetic behavior of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-based composites during the pultrusion of glass fiber reinforced composites was investigated using a mathematical model accounting for the heat transfer and heat generation during the reaction. The equations of continuity and energy balance, coupled with a kinetic expression for the reaction system were solved using a finite difference method to calculate the temperature profiles in the thickness direction in a rectangular pultrusion die. A kinetic model, , E p ¼ 10.62 kcal/mol, m ¼ 1.095, and n ¼ 0.893 were obtained. The predictions of the model will be compared with experimental results. It can be found that the theoretical predicted values of temperature profiles along the pultrusion die length were in good agreement with experimental data, which implies that the mathematical model was suitable for the pultrusion processes.
