Book release : Advanced Composites Manufacturing and Plastics Processing

Edited by Prof Dr Patricia Krawczak (Institut Mines-Télécom – IMT Nord Europe – Centre for Materials and Processes) and Prof Dr Ludwig Cardon (Ghent University – Department of Materials, Textiles and Chemical Engineering – Centre for Polymer and Material Technologies), this reprint focuses on the latest scientific development of advanced composites manufacturing and plastics processing.

It contains research articles addressing new process developments, modeling/simulation, monitoring/control, and performance or application issues, with either experimental or numerical approaches.

All types of polymers (thermoplastics or thermosets) and fibers/fillers (glass, carbon, ceramic, mineral, vegetal …) are concerned, whether they come from recycled, bio-based, or fossil feedstocks.

The contributions are clustered in three fields:

• advanced composites manufacturing (coupling/hybridization of processes; automated fiber, yarn or tape placement and additive manufacturing; long fiber thermoplastics compounding; fibers and fabrics production; manufacturing of sustainable bio-based composites; laminated glass/polymer composites),

• machining, milling and drilling of polymers, composites and multi-materials laminates,

• polymer processing and compounding (functionalization; plastics recycling).
