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. This book discusses various methods of manufacturing flexible towpregs, their properties, their textile preforming behavior, the properties of textile preform, and the properties of final composites.

FEATURES

Gives readers a complete view of composite manufacturing

Offers details 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

This book is aimed at readers working with composite materials, industrial textiles, and related areas to understand the significance of thermoplastic composites made through textile performance of flexible towpregs.
