| Abstract: | The article focuses on the thermal processes involved in the rapid forming of thermoplastic composites (TPC) and how these processes can be managed effectively. Topics include the differences between thermoset and thermoplastic composites in terms of heat-up and cooling phases, the importance of controlling the thermal cycle for TPC, and the role of heat, melt processing, and cooldown in achieving the desired polymer state. |
