CFRT is the abbreviation of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic. It is a composite material in which continuous fibers are used as reinforcing materials and are impregnated with a thermoplastic resin matrix. The materials that can be used as reinforcing fibers mainly include glass fiber, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, ultra-high-strength polyethylene fiber, PBO fiber, basalt fiber, etc. The materials that can be used as matrix resin mainly include polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyamide (PA), polycarbonate (PC), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethyleneimine (PEI), polyaryl ether ketone (PAEK), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), etc.
Development Trend of CFRT
In recent years, with the increasing global awareness of environmental protection, the demand for thermoplastic composite materials in the rail transit and automobile lightweight markets has grown rapidly. With the continuous advancement of research and development technology, the fiber types and resin types of CFRT materials will continue to be enriched and diversified to meet the needs of different industries and different application scenarios. The processing technology of CFRT materials will continue to be improved to improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and expand its application in large-scale industrial production.
