The Market for Thermoplastic CFRPs in Aerospace and Automotive Applications
Abstract:
The adoption of carbon fiber composites in aerospace and automotive applications has enabled engineers to continually push the boundaries of performance, design, safety/reliability, and revenue generation over the past 50 years. The majority of this history has been focused on the fabrication of thermoset polymer composites. During this time thermoset materials and processes have matured considerably. The adoption of thermoplastic materials and technologies, however, has progressed more slowly. Recent advancements in thermoplastic chemistry, processing and design techniques are creating new opportunities for carbon composites are changing this. Growth in thermoplastic CFRP now exceeds that of traditional thermosets. This seminar will discuss many of the materials, technologies, and advancements leading this change and how they are expected to move the market over the next ten years.
