Experimental investigation into stamping of woven CF/PP laminates: Influences of molding temperature on thermal, mesoscopic and macroscopic properties

This study aimed to investigate the influences of stamping temperature (or molding temperature) on thermal properties of matrix, mesoscopic structures of fabric and effective macroscopic mechanical properties of composite materials through experimental characterization. The plain woven carbon fiber/polypropylene composite laminates were prepared by hot stamping at 190 °C, 220 °C and 250 °C, respectively. Thermal study was performed using...
