Thermoplastic Composites
Thermoplastic composites refer to composite materials made of thermoplastic resin reinforced with long fiber, short fiber and continuous fiber. A thermoplastic plastic is a polymer that becomes pliable or moldable above a specific temperature and solidifies upon cooling. The fibers are usually glass, carbon, and aramid. The thermoplastic resin is usually PA, PP, PBT, PPEK, PEKK, PPA, PPS, PSU, etc.
