In Europe, Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) has high market relevance in the field of glass fiber reinforced polymer composites (GFRPC). This is based on their wide range application abilities. Almost 20 wt.-% GFRPC are processed SMC material, e.g. for semi-structural components various applications from construction industry to automotive components. Based ability production lightweight structural a cost-efficient manufacturing process with design freedom and formability, material well...
In Europe, Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) has high market relevance in the field of glass fiber reinforced polymer composites with a share almost 20% terms mass. The material thermal expansion coefficient similar to steel and special grades show Class-A surface quality being thereby an appreciated material in automotive industry. mechanical properties SMC components thus its implementation new application fields are mainly limited by type length. project “Preform-SMC” analyzed the combination...
Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) was developed in the 1960s and initially enabled production of glass fiber reinforced polymer composite (GFRPC) mass production. Nowadays, both material process are well established for semi-structural components various applications from construction industry to automotive components. Currently, approximately 20% all fibers produced Europe processed SMC. In this paper, use renewable filler materials SMC is described. By using those alternative fillers, a density...
Within the last years, liquid composite molding (LCM) is gaining more and importance for automotive industry due to weight saving of (semi-)structural car parts. In order make carbon fibre parts economically interesting this area, short cycle times are necessary. Hence, one concept impregnation in through-the-thickness direction. The behaviour impregnability depends mainly on out-of-plane permeability fabric. fabric influenced by type, orientation fibres, stitching parameters. study...
This study investigates the influence of a hot press process on properties hemp fiber-reinforced organo sheets. Plain-woven fabric made from staple fiber yarns is used as textile reinforcement, together with recycled poly-lactic acid (PLA) matrix. Process pressure and temperature are considered three factor levels for each parameter. The parameter examined based B-factor model, which considers temperature-dependent viscosity polymer, well calculation dimensionless value. Increasing these...
Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites (NFRPC) are conventionally processed in compression molding process to shell-shaped components, which mostly used automotive industry. Therefore, natural fibers (NF) and polypropylene (PP) as matrix system a thermoplastic organic sheet. Organic sheets heated contact heating press temperatures above melting temperature of the then transferred forming press. In this paper, Acrodur ® Power 2750 X (AP) is an alternative PP. This enables increase...
Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) was initially developed in the 1960s and enabled for first time production of glass fiber reinforced polymer composite mass scale at an advantageous price. Today, material process are well established semi-structural structural components various applications such as construction industry, aircraft automotive components. Based on increasing ecological economical requirements materials a newly largely bio-based SMC semi-finished developed. This paper shows ability...
