Effect of Crystallinity on Mechanical Properties of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, effect of crystallinity on mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTP) was investigated. Polypropylene (PP) and maleic anhydride modified polypropylene (MAPP) were used as matrix. The crystallinity of PP was controlled by using heat treatment after hot press molding of CFRTP. The range of crystallinity of PP and MAPP were from 26% to 40%. Flexural tests and izod impact tests of CFRTP were conducted based on Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) K 7074 and JIS K 7110, respectively. As a result, flexural property and izod impact value of CFRTP using PP increased with an increase of crystallinity. However, flexural property and izod impact value of CFRTP using MAPP almost did not change with an increase of crystallinity.
