Adhesive Systems for the Production of Multi-Layer Bonded Fabrics for Composite Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nowadays Non-Crimp Fabrics (NCF) are of substantial use in the field of technical textiles. Due to their lightweight, multilayer set-up, NCF became to an important factor for several technology sectors, i. e. automotive, wind energy and civil engineering. In order to eliminate known drawbacks of current manufacturing technologies, to enhance mechanical properties and to increase production speed of such NCF, a novel technology is proposed. This manufacturing technique is based on the adhesive bonding of layers made of high-performance fibres. Different adhesives were investigated to check their wettability and adhesion properties in relation to the high-performance fibres made of carbon or glass. Furthermore, the interface between the adhesive and a classical matrix for fibre-reinforced plastics was examined.
