Reinforcements integrated using multiaxial Tepex, has different fibre alignments for the layers of the composite structure. The method makes designing components subject to heavy loads, such as brake pedals and seat structures, very easy and efficient.
High performance structures can be optimised using the precise number of unidirectional high-performance reinforcements, called “tapes”. This enables the load to be optimised in a similar manner to using different sheet thicknesses or reinforcements, but at a considerably reduced weight.
“The method we developed rounds out the high-end range of our Tepex brand performance thermoplastic composites. The partners on this research project engineered an innovative method for cleverly combining different types of semi-finished composites. It demonstrates the development potential of our fibre composite technology,” said Dirk Bonefeld, head of research and development at Bond Laminates.
“We are proud to receive an award in this major competition in the composites industry. It's a very gratifying form of recognition of our know-how in the field of composite materials,” said Megan Jennings, account manager for the Tepex product in the Lanxess high performance materials business unit.
The project was funded by the German federal ministry for education and research (BMBF) as part of its framework concept 'research for the production of tomorrow'. (NA)
