Examples of various intermediate semi-manufactured composites modulus versus strength

The first industrial development is CURV by BP, a highly-stretched polypropylene fibre reinforced polypropylene delivered in sheets of 0.3 mm to 3 mm thickness. [Pg.817]

In addition to the polypropylene properties and the ease of thermoplastic processing, these materials have [Pg.817]

The (property/density) ratios show that the self-reinforced polypropylene is comparable to the general-purpose GMTs with a much higher impact resistance ratio. [Pg.817]

Other self-reinforced polymers are being developed. For example, PURE is based on highly oriented co-extruded tapes of polypropylene and a consolidation binder. Properties vary according to the form (see Table 6.27) - sheets, tapes or fabrics. [Pg.817]
