Influence of environmental effect on thermal and mechanical properties of welded PPS/carbon fiber laminates

This work consists in the evaluation of the influence of the environmental effects (ultraviolet radiation and humidity) on PPS/carbon fiber thermoplastic composite laminates integrated by electrical resistance welding. In order to evaluate how welding and conditioning influence the properties of the composite, the following tests were performed: Dynamic-Mechanical Analyze (DMA) and Thermomechanical Analyze (TMA) to evaluate the working...
