“…There are current or potential applications for SCF/PP composites in body structures for 'passenger cars' (e.g., car bonnet/hood [13] and interior trim), fuel cells, fuel tanks and several other niche uses. Combination of characteristics such as light-weight, corrosion resistance, low to moderate cost, thermal stability and easy processability, make them attractive for many applications especially in automotive industry [14].…”

a b s t r a c tCarbon fiber reinforced composites have all the ideal properties, leading to their rapid development and successful use for many applications over the last decade. In this paper, short carbon fiber reinforced polypropylene (SCF/PP) composite were prepared with melt blending and hot-pressing techniques. The thermomechanical properties of this composite were investigated taking into account the combined effect of mean fiber length. Thermal stability of the composite was studied via the thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was used to measure the damping properties of the composites. Finally it can be shown that an increase in fiber length can enhance the thermal stability of SCF/PP composites and improve the damping properties as well.

“…Goulart et al investigated the mechanical behavior of PP reinforced with palm fiber composites; the study revealed that the addition of fibers improved the flexural strength and modulus of PP. Rezaei et al carried out research on the development of SCF‐reinforced PP composite for car bonnet. The results have shown that hardness, impact strength, stiffness, and thermal stability of SCF/PP composites increased with increased SCF content.…”

In the present work, short glass fiber (SGF) and short carbon fiber (SCF)‐reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites are fabricated using twin‐screw extrusion and injection molding techniques. The SGF and SCF are reinforced as a single and hybrid reinforcement into the PP matrix with the same weight percentage (wt%) and the obtained composites are characterized for physicomechanical properties. It is observed that the tensile and flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of PP are improved by increasing the weight percent of reinforcement in the composite. The highest value is observed for composite with 30 wt% of SCF reinforcement; hybrid composite with 10 and 20 wt% of the mixture of SGF and SCF proves to outperform the other composites with the same weight percent of SGF and SCF added individually. The notched Izod impact strength of SGF + PP composite at 30 wt% is found to be the highest amongst all. Furthermore, the increased presence of SCF improved the tensile and flexural properties; however, it was not able to improve the impact strength significantly.

Abstract. Acrylic polymers have high potential as matrix polymers for carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic polymers (CFRTP) due to their superior mechanical properties and the fact that they can be fabricated at relatively low temperatures. We focused on improving the interfacial adhesion between carbon fibers (CFs) and acrylic polymers using several functional monomers for co-polymerization with methyl methacrylate (MMA). The copolymerized acrylic matrices showed good adhesion to the CF surfaces. In particular, an acrylic copolymer with acrylamide (AAm) showed high interfacial adhesive strength with CFs compared to pure PMMA, and a hydroxyethyl acrylamide (HEAA) copolymer containing both amide and hydroxyl groups showed high flexural strength of the CFRTP. A 3 mol% HEAA-copolymerized CFRTP achieved a flexural strength almost twice that of pure PMMA matrix CFRTP, and equivalent to that of an epoxy matrix CFRP.
