Polymer composite manufacturing processes
Technology characteristics
A composite is a material consisting of at least two components with different properties. The manufacturing processes of polymer composites are mainly carried out in extruders. It is possible to develop a process for the manufacture of a variety of polymer composites, characterised by assumed properties, which are then used as intermediates in end-product manufacturing technologies.
Product application
The application of polymer composites is very wide. They are used in almost all areas of manufacturing.
Examples of product varieties:
- composites with increased mechanical strength,
- composites with reduced flammability, including halogen-free composites,
- composites with reduced resistivity,
- nanocomposites.
