Enhancements of Thermoplastic Composites for Multifunctional Applications

November 10, 2022 |

Take advantage of the strengths of multiple composite fabrication processes to reduce metal in aerospace structures.

Automated fiber placement (AFP) is a versatile process that allows for a large diversity of composite structures. However, there are types of structures that are more difficult to produce using this method. Trelleborg has been combining in-situ thermoplastics fiber placement with other composite fabrication techniques to take full advantage of the strengths of both processes. This webinar will cover some of their latest developments in aerospace.

Agenda:

  • Integrating metallics in a thermoplastic prepreg to add EMI shielding and lightning strike protection
  • Using methods such as overmolding and overwinding to create enhanced structures
  • Taking advantage of the strengths of multiple composite fabrication processes to reduce metal in aerospace structures
