Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical characterisation of carbon fibre–PEEK manufactured by laser-assisted automated-tape-placement and autoclave
A.J. Comer,Dipa Ray,Winifred Obande,David Jones,John G. Lyons,I. Rosca,Ronan M. O' Higgins,Michael A. McCarthy +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, carbon fiber-pEEK laminates, manufactured by laser-assisted ATP (LATP) and autoclave, are compared and it is shown that LATP cooling rates are extremely rapid and suggests full through-thickness melting of the pre-preg tape may not occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical and thermomechanical characterisation of vacuum-infused thermoplastic- and thermoset-based composites
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative performance study was conducted on glass fibre-reinforced thermoplastic acrylic and thermosetting epoxy laminates produced by vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Thermoplastic Fibre-Metal Laminates Manufactured by Vacuum Resin Infusion: The Effect of Surface Treatments on Interfacial Bonding
Dimitrios Mamalis,Winifred Obande,Vasileios Koutsos,Jane R. Blackford,Conchúr M. Ó Brádaigh,Dipa Ray +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of various chemical and physical treatments on the surface morphology of the aluminium (Al) alloy sheets and on the bond strength at the metal-composite interface was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fracture toughness of carbon fiber/polyether ether ketone composites manufactured by autoclave and laser-assisted automated tape placement
Dipa Ray,A.J. Comer,John G. Lyons,Winifred Obande,David Jones,Ronan M. O' Higgins,Michael A. McCarthy +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative study on the fracture toughness of carbon fiber/PEEK composites manufactured by autoclave and laser-assisted automated tape placement (LATP) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastic acrylic-matrix composites prepared by liquid resin infusion – a review
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of room-temperature-processible liquid thermoplastic acrylic resins and their composites is presented, and open problems and research opportunities are identified and discussed.
