Abstract
At the same consolidation temperature, the maximum bending stress values resulted to be substantially dependent on the fiber volume fraction of PLA-SPCs, while the bending modulus values were largely subjected to the fiber content in the length direction. The increases of consolidation pressure gave rise to better fusion of neighboring fibers with the result that the maximum stress and modulus were increased. As the consolidation temperature increases, the fusion bonding was improved, the bending failure feature was converted from plastic to brittle, both maximum bending stress and modulus values were increased. It is expected that this study could provide a new approach for the manufacture of high-performance single polymer composites (SPCs) by using thermoplastic polymer fibers.
