Carbon fiber thermoplastic compound research and development success

Strength is more than 5 times higher than metal performance
On November 28th Shanghai Huahang Carbon Fiber Composites Co., Ltd. announced that it has developed a continuous carbon fiber-reinforced polyether ketone composite (CF/PEEK composite). This composite material is 5 times stronger than metal, 60% lighter than metal, and more than 10% better than similar products.

China
. The team focused on the development of high-performance carbon fiber thermoplastic composites, the development of CF/PEEK composite products with a number of performance indicators better than similar products abroad.
composite material is resistant to high temperature and corrosion, strong impact resistance, high plasticity, but also with self-lubrication, wear resistance, X-ray through, radiation resistance and other characteristics. Materials with these characteristics can be used in aircraft manufacturing to replace some metal materials, to reduce the quality of the aircraft, reduce fuel use and reduce carbon emissions, related products in the domestic large aircraft potential suppliers to be recognized for trial. In addition, this composite material can also be widely used in the aerospace industry, energy industry, transportation, medical equipment and other fields.
, a single milli of China Airlines composites team, from the East China University of Technology School of Chemical Engineering, Mr. Zhou Xiaodong, he will CF/ PEEK composite materials as his research topic. Hong Cheng and Chen Yu of the same lab also joined the start-up team. Through unremitting efforts and repeated attempts, the team overcomes the problems of high PEEK resin processing temperature, large melt viscosity, difficult to fully impregnate fibers, improve the production process and production equipment, successfully develop high-performance CF/PEEK composite materials, and applied for an invention patent. Today, the China Airlines team has 3 invention patents and obtained 4 written letters of intent for cooperation. At the same time, the team also won the 4th "Internet" Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition Shanghai Gold Award, National Silver Award, 2018 "Creative Youth" National University Student Entrepreneurship Competition Shanghai Gold Award, National Silver Award.
research shows that due to high technical barriers, few companies worldwide can produce CF/PEEK composites. At present, the domestic research and development of this material is still in the laboratory stage, there is no industrial production capacity. However, China's large aircraft, high-speed trains, automotive industry, nuclear power engineering, such as the demand for this material is very urgent. Today, the high-performance fiber and composites-related industries are growing rapidly around the world, and the demand for lightweight, recyclable, and environmentally friendly materials is growing. The large-scale application of related materials in the manufacturing industry can enhance the level of lightweight technology in the manufacturing industry. Therefore, since the 12th Five-Year Plan, China attaches great importance to the research and development and application of high-performance fiber composite materials, and has formulated a corresponding strategic plan.
