Processing of LFRT or LFT - long fibre (reinforced) thermoplastics injection, composite insert moulding, compression moulding, extrusion-compression. [Pg.742]

LFRT (long fibre reinforced thermoplastics) are reinforced with fibres about 2 cm long, far from the length of continuous fibres. Practically all the properties are influenced by the addition of fibres. The most significant parameters are ... [Pg.823]

Compounding of long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFRTs) is very different from compounding short fiber or particle filled composites. Long fibers enhance properties such as impact strength and are finding great utility in a number of applications in the automotive, industrial, and sports markets. Most of these products use PP or polyamide (PA), but poly(ethylene tere-phthalate) (PET) and other resins are also used. [Pg.12]
