Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Synthetic Fibers Based Woven Fabrics Thermoplastic Composites

Polymeric composites are extensively used in the various applications. The preparation of fabric-based composite depends on different influential factors. This chapter will discuss the mechanical and thermal properties of woven fabric based polymeric composites which are prepared using synthetic fibers. The synthetic fibers are produced by different chemical interactions, and it is mainly stronger than different natural fibers. The properties of woven fabric polymeric composites produced from carbon fiber, aramid fiber, glass fiber and so on are represented here. Various preparation processes with possible mechanism are also included in this chapter. The structure of the reinforcement materials and matrix, processing conditions, and history of the materials cause various changes in the ultimate composite. Mechanical and thermal evaluations of the materials are performed with various techniques. Therefore, this chapter will provide the details information regarding the woven fabric polymeric composites produced from synthetic fibers.
