The use of discontinuous PEEK/carbon fiber thermoplastic moulding compounds for thick-section componentry

The hot-pressing of discontinuous fiber moulding compounds (DFMCs) is an established way of forming geometrically complex components, however, it is not a simple process. Rapid and irreversible cure cycles hinder the use of thermoset resins, and thermoplastic resins offer inferior mechanical perform...
