| dc.description.abstract | This paper describes the design and manufacture of a low-cost full scale pultrusion prototype equipment and discusses the production and mechanical properties of polypropylene/glass (GF/PP) reinforced composite bars fabricated by using the prototype equipment. Three different GF/PP pre-impregnated raw-materials, a commercial GF/PP comingled system from Vetrotex, a GF/PP powder coated towpreg [1-3] and, a GF/PP pre-consolidated tape (PCT) produced in our laboratories, were used in the production of composite bars that were subsequently submitted to mechanical testing in order to determine the relevant mechanical properties and quantify the consolidation quality. Samples of the different composite profiles were also observed under SEM microscopy. | eng |
