The effects of polymeric binders on the processability and properties of composites made by suspension prepregging

<p>This thesis concerns the production of thermoplastic/carbon fiber composites via aqueous suspension prepregging. Suspension prepregging requires the use of a binder dispersant: i) to disperse the polymer particles so as to get good fiber-matrix distribution in the prepreg, and ii) to improv...
