Thermoplastic matrix composites have attracted much attention in the composites industry due to their easy processibility and improved impact properties. Although there are many books on thermoplastic composites available, none emphasize flexible towpregs and their composite properties. Flexible Towpregs and Their Thermoplastic Composites discusses various methods of manufacturing flexible towpregs, their properties, textile preforming behavior, properties of textile preform, and properties of final composites. Gives the reader a complete view of composite manufacturing Offers detail on flexible prepregs that other books overlook, such as manufacturing methods, influence of processing parameters, and properties Includes explanations that cover all steps of manufacturing with examples Features case studies and homework exercises for all chapters to reinforce understanding Provides technological information, discussion, and analysis of problems related to all types of flexible towpregs, such as commingling, electrostatic powder coating, wrapped hybrid yarns, micro-braided hybrid yarns, core-spun hybrid yarns, and others With this book readers working with composite materials, industrial textiles, and related areas will be able to understand the significance of thermoplastic composites made through textile preforming of flexible towpregs.
