Abstract:To improve the plastic instability of a thermoplastic polymer composite under cold forming, a copper mesh was filled into the polypropylene (PP). PP-Cu mesh composite plate specimens with the Cu mesh inclined in various directions were formed by the compression molding of the PP pellet and Cu mesh. First, the tensile behavior of Cu meshes with the angles of 0/90, 15/75, 30/60 and 45 to the tensile direction was examined. The maximum stress decreased gradually with increasing Cu mesh angle to the tensile di… Show more
