In this paper, a continuous glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene prepreg was prepared by fiber treatment with a silane coupling agent and MAH-g-PP resin. Continuous glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene sheets were made from prepreg and PP mats by hot-pressing; they displayed exceptional performance. This paper studies the effects of maleic anhydride grafting on the polypropylene crystallinity and MAH-g-PP content in the prepreg, and the mechanical properties of the composites. The results showed that modifying PP with maleic anhydride decreased the tacticity of the polypropylene molecular chain, which reduced the crystallinity and melting point. An excellent interface formed between the polypropylene and fiber after the glass fiber was treated with a silane coupling agent and MAH-g-PP resin. The mechanical properties of the polymer materials displayed more favorable properties as MAH-g-PP content increased; the ideal MAH-g-PP content was 50%.

Continuous glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites have been manufactured and their mechanical properties have been evaluated. A catalyzed monomer is infused through a stack of compacted dry reinforcement under vacuum. The monomer undergoes radical polymerization with a peroxide catalyst. Viscosity and reactivity profile have been characterized to determine the catalyst concentration and temperature of infusion. Glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites realized through this method have mechanical properties that are comparable with that of epoxy with an added advantage of excellent toughness and repairability. For example, the residual compressive strength of thermoplastic composites after low-velocity impact is found to be over 140% more than that of epoxy-based composites using the same reinforcement and realized under identical manufacturing methods.

This study focused on the effect of processing conditions on the tensile properties of continuous glass fiber–reinforced polyether ether ketone composites, fabricated by co-wrapped yarn method, under different conditions. Their tensile properties were investigated in terms of thermal and fracture characterizations. The cooling rate significantly affected only the tensile modulus. However, both holding temperature and holding time had a significant effect on the tensile strengths and modulus. Although the effects of both were the same, the optimal increase of the holding time was found to be more beneficial.
