[0205] According to the aforementioned method, the composite materials prepared in each embodiment and comparative example were subjected to relevant performance tests, and the results are shown in Table 1-2.

[0206] Table 1

[0207]

[0208]

[0209] Table 2

[0210]

[0211] As shown in Table 1, Examples 1 to 8 of this invention, by using polyamide sheets of specific viscosities as raw materials, can prepare composite materials with excellent mechanical properties. Moreover, the preparation method is simple to operate and has great potential for industrial scale-up applications, meeting the needs of energy conservation, emission reduction, and lightweight design in various fields. Examples 6 to 8, in particular, use ultra-thin plain-weave glass fiber cloth as reinforcing material to prepare thin composite materials with excellent mechanical properties, meeting the requirements of some 3C products and expanding the application of fiber-reinforced polyamide composite materials in mid-to-high-end fields.

[0212] The difference between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 is that the viscosity of the polyamide sheet used is different. The polyamide sheet A1 in Example 1 was viscosed at 280°C and a shear rate of 1 s. -1The viscosity of the composite material in Example 1 was 515 Pa·s, while the corresponding viscosity of Comparative Example 1 was 1351 Pa·s. According to the results in Table 1, the mechanical properties of the composite material in Example 1, such as flexural strength and interlaminar shear strength, are significantly higher than those of the material in Comparative Example 1. The mechanical properties of materials determine the load-bearing capacity and stability of components and structures in fields such as automobiles and aerospace. Lower mechanical properties are detrimental to the safety, performance, and durability of materials in subsequent applications.

[0213] The performance comparison results of the composite materials of Example 2 and Comparative Example 2, and Example 3 and Comparative Example 3, are similar to those of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1. Therefore, by using polyamide sheets with a viscosity below 1000 Pa·s under specific conditions to prepare fiber-reinforced composite materials while maintaining the melting point of the polyamide sheet as constant, the mechanical properties of the material can be improved. Furthermore, the difference between Example 1 and Example 4 is that the fiber fabric used in Example 1 is twill fiberglass cloth, while that used in Example 4 is plain fiberglass cloth. According to the results in Table 1, the mechanical properties of the composite material of Example 1 are significantly better than those of Example 4.

[0214] Unlike other embodiments, the fiber fabric used in embodiments 6 to 8 is plain weave electronic cloth. According to the results in Table 1, the tensile strength can reach more than 350 MPa when the continuous fiber weight content is about 60%.

[0215] Unless otherwise specified, the terms used in this invention have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art.
