Abstract
The creation of highly oriented, co-extruded polypropylene (PP) tapes allows the production of recyclable “all-polypropylene” (all-PP) composites, with a large temperature processing window (>30 °C) and a high volume fraction of highly oriented PP molecules (>90%). This paper describes all-PP composites made from woven tape fabrics and reports the tensile and compressive properties of these, with reference to composite processing conditions and compares these mechanical properties to those of commercial alternatives.
