An Overview on Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polypropylene

Abstract

Abstract

This review article describes the methods of fabrication of composites using carbon fibre and polypropylene and improving the mechanical properties of composites. Recycled carbon fibre/polypropylene (reCF/PP) wrap-spun yarns were compared to the virgin carbon fibre. The aim is to enhance the tensile properties of the CFRPP/SRPP intralayer hybrid composites under tensile stresses; observations of different kinds of weave patterns and layups are resulted.

Keywords: Recycled carbon fibre, polypropylene, carbon fibre reinforced polypropylene, self-reinforced polypropylene
