Bachelor’s Thesis or Master’s Thesis
Topic of the thesis:
The work deals with the production of unidirectional fiber-reinforced tape using polypropylene recyclate as a matrix material. The influence of various impurities on the fiber impregnation and the mechanical properties of the tape is being investigated.
© IKVThe work is related to this research project:
The research project is a sub-project of the DediGrad Collaborative Research Center and deals with the production of graded, fiber-reinforced semi-finished products from recycled materials. Various tapes, profiles and press compounds are produced with different fiber volume contents and partly recycled plastics in order to be subsequently integrated into components in other sub-projects of the Collaborative Research Centre.
Objective:
The aim of the work is to examine recyclates, categorize impurities and determine their influence on semi-finished products. For this purpose, compounds are specifically contaminated to a certain degree and tapes are produced from this material. The mechanical properties and impregnation quality of the glass fiber should then be correlated with the type and degree of contamination.
