“…This straightforward classification will be followed in this paper. Albeit SPCs and related materials have been already surveyed in reviews [1][2][3][4][5], recent developments in this field necessitate their up-date, regrouping and reinterpretation of the results. Our aim was to give a well structured, exhaustive overview on this field.…”

“…Presently, considerable research activities and accompanying commercial interest are devoted to single-component composites, which are also referred to as self-reinforced composites or homocomposites [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. The increasing interest in the singlecomponent composites is attributed to their unique advantages, such as the ideal recyclability and light weight, due to the absence of any fillers or dense reinforcing components [1,8].…”

A novel single-component composite based on phthalonitrile end-capped polyarylene ether nitrile (PEN-Ph) was prepared successfully via hot compression. In the PENPh system, the crosslinking reactions and crystallization exist simultaneously, and the crystals are embedded in the crosslinked PEN-Ph matrix, which can work as reinforcement. Analysis of the Non-isothermal cold crystallization kinetics of the PEN-Ph system was performed by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the activation energy of the crystallization process is obtained to be 217.5 kJ·mol −1 . The DSC and SEM analysis provide the evidence for that there exists crosslinking reactions as well as crystallization behavior. However, the crosslinking reaction with excessive speed will restrict the crystallization behavior of the PEN-Ph. Furthermore, the DMA and mechanical measurements indicate that the glass transition temperature and mechanical properties are influenced by not only the crosslinking degree but also the crystallinity. The tensile strength of the single-component composite is 111.0 MPa, increased by about 10 MPa than that of amorphous PEN-Ph sheet.

“…Some other processes have also been investigated, such as injection moulding [10] and continuous extrusion [11], but have not yet led to commercial exploitation. The most successful self-reinforced polymer is polypropylene (PP), as it excels in impact performance and processability [12][13][14][15].…”

Hot compacted self-reinforced polypropylene composites have good tensile properties and excellent impact resistance, but they have a limited processing window. Therefore, the influence of compaction temperature, dwell time and the application of interleaved films on the tensile and impact properties was assessed. Increased compaction temperature allows more molecular relaxation, thereby melting more matrix and creating a stronger interlayer bonding. This results in reduced 0° tensile properties and penetration impact resistance, while the 45° tensile properties and non-penetration impact resistance are maintained or improved. The dwell time only has minor influences on tensile and impact properties, while interleaved films have a similar influence as increased compaction temperature. These films increase the interlayer bonding, which increases the tensile strength and non-penetration impact resistance, but reduces penetration impact resistance. This paper demonstrates a wide property range depending on the processing parameters, helping in future tailoring of self-reinforced composites to specific applications.
