含有连续纤维的高性能聚合物基复合材料层压板的制造通常涉及预浸料片材。

The manufacture of high performance polymer matrix composite laminates containing continuous fibers usually involves prepreg sheets. A prepreg is a piece of continuous fiber impregnated with a polymer or polymer precursor. An example of a polymer precursor is an epoxy resin, which undergoes subsequent curing (usually at high temperature and pressure) to form an epoxy polymer, a hot solid. Figure 1.2 shows the scanning electron microscope image of the surface of the carbon fiber epoxy prepreg. The fiber is covered with resin, so it cannot be recognized. An example of a polymer in prepreg is nylon, which is a thermoplastic polymer. The softening of the thermoplastic polymer when heated above the glass transition temperature makes the prepreg flexible and conforms to the desired shape. In the case of epoxy resin prepreg, as long as the resin is not cured, the prepreg is soft and sticky. In order to extend the life cycle of epoxy prepregs, prepregs are usually stored in refrigerators because the low temperature in the refrigerator helps slow down the curing process. Even if stored in the refrigerator, the epoxy resin prepreg has a shelf life of only a few months.

The manufacture of high-performance polymer-based composite laminates containing continuous fibers usually involves pre-immersion sheets. Pre-immersion is a continuous fiber impregnated by a polymer or polymer precursor. An example of a polymer precursor is an epoxy resin, which is subsequently cured (usually at high temperatures and high pressures) to form an epoxy polymer, a hot solid. Figure 1.2 shows a scanned electron microscope image of the surface of the carbon fiber epoxy pre-immersion. The fibers are covered with resin and are therefore unrecognizable. An example of a polymer in pre-immersion is nylon, a thermoplastic polymer. The softening of thermoplastic polymers when heated above the glass temperature makes the pre-immersion flexible and thus in the desired shape. In the case of epoxy pre-immersion, the pre-immersion is soft and sticky as long as the resin is not cured. In order to extend the life of epoxy pre-immersion, pre-immersion is usually stored in the refrigerator, where low temperatures help slow down the curing process. Even if stored in the refrigerator, epoxy pre-immersion is only a few months long.

Prepreg is a continuous fiber impregnated with polymer or polymer precursor. An example of a polymer precursor is an epoxy resin, which is subsequently cured (usually at high temperature and pressure) to form an epoxy polymer, a hot solid. Figure 1.2 shows the SEM image of the surface of the carbon fiber epoxy prepreg. The fibers are covered with resin, so they cannot be identified. An example of a polymer in a prepreg is nylon, which is a thermoplastic polymer. The softening of the thermoplastic polymer when it is heated above the glass transition temperature makes the prepreg flexible, thus meeting the expected shape. In the case of epoxy resin prepreg, as long as the resin is not cured, the prepreg is soft and sticky. In order to prolong the service life of the epoxy resin prepreg, the prepreg is usually stored in the refrigerator, because the low temperature in the refrigerator helps to slow down the curing process. Even in refrigerators, the life of epoxy prepreg is only a few months.
