Composite/ Nanocomposite Processing
THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES/NANOCOMPOSITES PROCESSING OPERATIONS EXPERIENCE
DESCRIPTION
PLAPIQUI has wide experience in thermoplastic composite and nanocomposite processing operation like blending, compounding, extrusion using single and double screw, injection molding, calendaring, and blowing film extrusion. These processing operations were used either for new materials development or for process optimization using different matrices and fillers like short fibers, mineral particles and nanofillers. Remarkable and special experience in blown nanocomposite films with up to 5% of nanofillers is developed as well as laminates of one polymer composites using films and woven-non woven polymers obtained only by calendaring.
