High performance thermoplastic matrix composite processing: dry powder prepregging, plasma treatment, consolidation/crystallization analysis

The quest for developing high performance materials, originally responsible for the birth and growth of the composites industry, is now responsible for the drive to produce composites which outperform those used today. A great deal of this interest lies in the use of thermoplastic polymers as the co...
