Enhanced Mechanical Strength: Carbon-fiber reinforcement significantly boosts the mechanical properties of PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone), providing superior tensile strength and stiffness. This makes the material ideal for high-stress applications in aerospace, automotive, and industrial sectors.
Improved Thermal Stability: The addition of carbon fibers enhances PEEK's thermal stability, allowing it to maintain its mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. This is crucial for applications requiring consistent performance under thermal stress.
Reduced Weight: Despite the increased strength and stability, carbon-fiber-reinforced PEEK remains lightweight. This weight reduction is beneficial for applications where minimizing mass is critical, such as in aerospace and high-performance sports equipment.
Carbon-fiber-reinforced PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) is manufactured through a process called extrusion compounding. In this process, carbon fibers are mixed with PEEK polymer pellets and fed into an extruder. The mixture is heated until it melts and then forced through a die to form a continuous strand. This strand is cooled and cut into pellets, which can be further processed through injection molding or other techniques to create high-strength, lightweight components used in aerospace, automotive, and medical applications.
