Shear-dominated plastic behavior of a cross-ply Dyneema® composite

Developing thermoplastic hybrid titanium composite laminates (HTCLS) at room temperature: Low-velocity impact analyses

“…Recently, UHMWPE fibers are being replaced by carbon/glass fibers in manufacturing FRPCs and FMLs for impact applications thanks to their outstanding impact performance and low density [22][23][24][25]. Although UHMWPE-based FRPCs show good impact resistance in ballistic and HVI applications, the low stiffness of UHMWPE-based laminates does not make them suitable for applications that require high stiffness [26].…”

Effect of discontinuous long polyimide fiber on mechanical properties, fracture morphology, and crystallization behaviors of polyamide-6 matrix composites

“…13 These fibers have covered the para- and meta-aramid fibers, 14 polybenzobisoxazole (PBO) fiber, 15 polybenzimidazole fiber, 16 poly(hydroquinone-diimidazopyridine) fiber, 17 ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber, 18 and polytetrafluoroethylene fiber, 19 and some of them are now available as commercial products such as Kevlar ® , Nomex ® , Twaron ® , Zylon ® , Dyneema ® , Spectra ® , and Teflon ® . 20 –23 The excellent mechanical properties of these novel synthetic fibers make them competitive in engineering and structural applications for various forms of advanced composites with higher mechanical strength, better damage tolerance, higher load-bearing stiffness, more significant lightweight, and better thermal stability compared to the traditional inorganic fiber-reinforced composites. In a world where lightweight and durable composites are increasingly replacing conventional materials, the reinforcement of thermoplastics with high-performance organic fibers has been receiving a great deal of attention in both academic communities and industrial societies.…”
