Production of thermoplastic matrix towpregs for highly demanding and cost-effec...
Nunes, J. P.; Silva, J. F.This work reviews the work made in last years to produce thermoplastic matrix towpregs to highly demanding and more cost-effective commercial applications using a powder coating technology developed in Portugal by Minho and Porto Universities. Different thermoplastic matrices and continuous fibre reinforcements were used in the towpregs produced for highly demanding markets (e.g., carbon fibre reinforced Primos...
Processing conditions and properties of continuous fiber reinforced GF/PP therm...
Nunes, J. P.; Silva, J. F.; Novo, Paulo; Marques, A. T.The aim of the present work was to study and compare the processing conditions and final mechanical properties of continuous glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene composites (GF/PP) manufactured by using available thermoplastic preimpregnated materials produced by different methods.To assess the quality of the three different GF/PP pre-impregnated materials, final manufactured composite parts were submitted to m...
Composite pressure vessels for commercial applications
Nunes, J. P.; Oliveira, Luís; Silva, J. F.; Barros, B.; Amorim, Luís Manuel Machado de; Vasconcelos, M.A new generation of composite pressure vessels for large scale market applications has been studied in this work. The vessels consist on a plastic liner wrapped with a filament winding glass fibre reinforced polymer matrix structure. A polyethylene (PE) was selected as liner for water at room temperatures applications and a thermosetting resin was used as matrices in the glass reinforced filament wound laminate...
Processing and properties of natural fibers reinforced thermoplastic and thermo...
Silva, J. F.; Nunes, J. P.; Duro, A. C.; Castro, B. F.In this work, three different natural fibers were studied and characterized, using optical and SEM microscopy. Woven fabrics of those reinforcement fibers were used to reinforce polyester and epoxy matrices and produce composite plates by vacum lay-up. Also, using an experimental piston blender equipment, long fiber reinforced PLA (LFT) composites were manufactured by hot compression molding. All different obta...

Tinoco, V.; Novo, Paulo; Nunes, J. P.; Silva, J. F.; Marques, A. T.The aim of the work was optimizing the continuous production of new continuous carbon fibers reinforced polypropylene matrix pre-impregnated materials (towpregs). This raw-material, produced by dry deposition of polypropylene (PP) powder in an equipment built by the Institute for Polymers and Composites (IPC), was used to manufacture composite pultruded profiles in a recently developed prototype equipment assem...
Processing and properties of composites obtained from natural fibres and thermo...
Duro, A. C.; Castro, B. F.; Silva, J. F.; Nunes, J. P.In this work, different natural fibres were studied and characterized, using optical and SEM microscopy. Those fibres were used to reinforce polyester and epoxy matrices and produce composite plates by hand lay-up. A vacuum bag was then used to allow improving the fibre impregnation, establishing a controlled pressure atmosphere. All different obtained composite plates were submitted to mechanical testing, in o...
Comparing the performance of different thermoplastic matrix pre-impregnated mat...
Santos, M. S.; Nunes, J. P.; Silva, J. F.; Novo, Paulo; Marques, A. T.This work studies and compares the processability into final composite parts of three different pre-impregnated materials, produced by different wetting techniques. All studied pre-impregnated materials were based on a continuous glass fibers reinforced polypropylene matrix (GF/PP) system. One is a tape produced in a previous work by using the melting process (cross-head extrusion) and, from the other two produ...
Development and assessment to environmentally friendly natural fiber composites
Nunes, J. P.; Castro, B. F.; Duro, A. C.; Silva, J. F.; Oliveira, LuísTwo different types of natural fibers (jute and sisal) were studied and characterized, using optical microscopy, pycnometry density, single filament and linear density tests. Jute fibers were processed into composite parts from woven fabrics raw-material and sisal fibers were also processed into final composite componentes but in the form of chopped mat. Those fibers were used to reinforce polyester and epoxy m...

Novo, P. J.; Silva, J. F.; Nunes, J. P.; Hattum, F. W. J. van; Marques, A. T.This paper describes the design and manufacture of a low-cost full scale pultrusion prototype equipment and discusses the production and obtained mechanical properties of polypropylene/glass (GF/PP) reinforced composite ba rs fabricated by using the prototype equipment. Three different GF/PP pre-impregnated ra w-materials, a commercial GF/PP comingled system from Vetrotex, a GF/PP powder coat ed towpreg [1-3] a...
Filament wound products made with thermoplastic matrix towpregs
Silva, J. F.; Nunes, J. P.; Marques, A. T.Cost-effective glass-reinforced thermoplastic matri x towpregs produced by a powder coating line were used to manufacture composite pipes by fi lament winding. A conventional 6 axes filament-winding equipment was adapted for processi ng such structures. The influence of the filament winding speed and mandrel temperature on t he composite final properties was studied in the present work. An optimized processin g...
