Abstract:
Fabrication of high-quality composites from thennoplastic prepregs requires careful selection of the processing cycles so that intimate contact at the ply interfaces is achieved resulting in the formation of strong interply bonds and the process-induced residual stress is minimized to ensure superior mechanical performance. The void formation and the consolidation mechanism were studied experimentally. A refined model was developed to relate the processing parameters of pressure, temperature and time to the interply intimate contact of thermoplastic composites. The model was developed by integ

The design and construction of boats using thermoplastic composites (TPCs) is an emerging industry derived from the advantages these materials offer. Short manufacturing cycle times, virtually infinite shelf life, increased toughness, no volatiles emission, and the ability to be re‐processed and recycled, lead to improved processes and open new and more sustainable manufacturing possibilities for boats and other structures. However, the manufacture, repair and actual recycling of TPCs still present a number of technical challenges. This thesis addresses the five most important of these challen
