Abstract:Preoxidized fiber was used here as a reinforcement for the first time. Polypropylene fiber was used as resin matrix, and the preform with the two types of fiber was prepared by a nonwoven process. Then, hot-pressing was applied to make a treatment for the preform, and the thermoplastic composites reinforced with preoxidized fiber were prepared. The effects of the hot-pressing temperature, hot-pressing pressure, weight percentage of preoxidized fiber, and nonwoven process on bending failure strength along the machine direction (MD) and transverse direction (CD) were studied under a three-point bending load. It was concluded that the flexural strength of the composites along MD and CD decreases with increasing hot-pressing temperature and hot-pressing pressure, while an initial increase and then decrease was observed with the increase in the weight percentage of preoxidized fiber. However in both directions, flexural strength of the composites is influenced significantly by the nonwoven process. Finally, the bending failure mode of the composites generated micro-flaws, which can be observed on the center surface of the composites. The micro-flaws extend to the ends along the thickness direction of the composites, and plastic bending failure is observed due to partial delamination.
Keywords:Flexural strength  hot-pressing  nonwoven process  preoxidized fiber  thermoplastic composites
