Crystallization of thermoplastic composites during the heating phase of Laser-Assisted Fiber Placement
An experimental investigation into the development of degree of crystallinity in CF/PPS tapes during the heating phase of LAFP
Laser-assisted fiber placement (LAFP) is a promising manufacturing process for thermoplastic composites (TPCs), which enables out-of-autoclave production and eliminates post-consolidation steps. In LAFP, thermoplastic carbon fiber tapes are heated with a laser heat source and pla
