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) ...

The direct, or inline-compounding (ILC), process has been a major boon to thermoplastic composites during the past decade. Direct processing has driven significant growth in the use of such materials ...

Compression molding involves forming of complex shaped components by molding of a charge of fiber reinforced prepreg bulk molding compound (BMC) under heat and high pressures. Unidirectional fiber ...

In addition to its considerably higher cost-effectiveness, the process has the great advantage that as well as the high pressing forces that can be achieved, temperatures above 450° can also be ...

Once upon a time, glass-mat thermoplastic (GMT) composites were nearly the only option for engineers searching for increased stiffness, strength, and toughness in a polymeric material with a ...

Shindo noncrimp fabrics (NCFs) have been used for various products in the aerospace, marine, civil construction, and repair and reinforcement fields. There are four features that characterize this new ...
