The hybrid-composite rear load floor uses unidirectional (UD) thermoplastic tapes plus direct-long-fiber thermoplastic (D-LFT) composites. Thermoplastic tapes provided high stiffness/strength in a ...

Compression molded bulk carbon/epoxy molding compound costs significantly less than hand-layed sandwich construction because much of the latter’s touch labor is eliminated. The molding process enables ...

AZoM talks to DeWayne Howell and Jason Gabriel (Technical Engineering TenCate/CCS Composites), about the process of compression molding for composites and what the benefits and applications of this ...

Predominantly, if the metal part used in compression molding is tension or compression loaded, a ratio of metal part thickness to its extensional modulus, multiplied by the Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) ...
