AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the prior art, it is difficult for thermoplastic resin to uniformly impregnate carbon fiber bundles, resulting in problems such as high porosity, uneven surface, and uneven thickness in the prepreg of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin composites, which affect the quality of the material and subsequent processing applications.

Method used

A V-shaped roll assembly is used to calender and flatten sheet-like carbon fibers made of unidirectional prepreg thermoplastic resin. By adjusting parameters such as the angle, distance, and temperature of the rolls, the wettability between the resin and the carbon fibers is optimized, the porosity is reduced, and the appearance quality is improved.

🎯Benefits of technology

This resulted in a smoother surface and more uniform thickness in carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin unidirectional prepregs, improving the processing performance for subsequent applications.

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of composite materials, specifically to a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin unidirectional prepreg and its preparation method. The method includes: calendering and flattening sheet-like carbon fibers of the unidirectional prepreg thermoplastic resin sequentially through a V-shaped roll group consisting of a first roll, a second roll, and a third roll; the axes of the first and third rolls are parallel and on the same horizontal plane; a second roll is located between the first and third rolls, but is not on the same horizontal plane as the first and third rolls. The preparation method of this invention can reduce the porosity of the prepreg, improve its apparent quality, resulting in a smoother surface, more uniform thickness, and improved processing performance in subsequent applications.
