I. Composition

TPU LCF40 uses thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) as the base material and 40% long carbon fiber as the filling material. The filling mass percentage of carbon fiber is as high as 40%. The addition of long carbon fiber greatly enhances the performance of the material.

II. Synthesis Process

The synthesis is carried out by the impregnation method. First, conduct fine surface treatment on the long carbon fiber. Through a special chemical process, its surface activity is enhanced to improve the binding force with TPU.

Then, slowly immerse the treated long carbon fiber into the TPU melt. Under strictly controlled parameters such as temperature, pressure, and time, ensure that the carbon fiber is fully impregnated in the TPU to achieve perfect fusion.

Subsequently, transport the impregnated mixture to advanced extrusion equipment. Through a precise extrusion molding process, make it form a specific shape and structure. Finally, after cooling, cutting and other processes, high-quality TPU LCF40 composite material is obtained.

III. Performance Characteristics

1. High strength: It has extremely high tensile strength and can withstand huge external forces without deformation. For example, under the same volume, its strength is far superior to traditional materials and can withstand several tons of pressure while remaining stable.
2. High modulus: The elastic modulus is high, and the deformation is extremely small when subjected to force. The dimensional stability is excellent. Even in a complex stress environment, it can ensure the dimensional accuracy of the product.
3. Excellent wear resistance: It can maintain good wear resistance in various harsh environments. Whether in a desert area full of sand and dust or in a humid and salty marine environment, it can maintain a smooth and complete surface for a long time.
4. Good temperature resistance: It can maintain stable performance in extremely cold low-temperature environments and also work normally within a certain high-temperature range. Whether in extremely cold temperatures of several dozen degrees below zero or in high-temperature environments of several hundred degrees, it can exhibit excellent performance.
5. Low density: Compared with metal materials, it has a lower density, which is conducive to realizing product lightweighting. This makes it more convenient during transportation and installation and reduces costs.
6. Good processing performance: It can adopt various processing methods to meet the manufacturing needs of different products. Whether it is injection molding, extrusion or calendering and other processes, it can be easily handled.

Application Scenario Case

TPU LCF40 composite material produced by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material is applied to the manufacture of aircraft interior components. Considering that aircraft will face various complex environments and stresses during flight, the performance requirements for materials are extremely high.

The high strength and high modulus characteristics of the LCF40-TPU composite material provide stable and reliable structural support for aircraft interiors. For example, the frames of aircraft seats are made of this material and can withstand the weight of passengers and various impacts to ensure that there will be no deformation or damage during flight.

At the same time, its excellent wear resistance makes the interior components less prone to wear and aging during long-term use. In the cargo hold area of the aircraft, there are often friction and collisions of goods.

The cargo hold liners made of TPU LCF40 composite material can withstand these tests and maintain good appearance and performance. In addition, the good temperature resistance of this material is also very important.

During high-altitude flight, the temperature changes greatly. The TPU-LCF40 composite material can maintain stable performance under different temperature conditions and will not crack or deform due to temperature changes. Moreover, its low-density characteristic helps reduce the overall weight of the aircraft and lower fuel consumption.

After actual testing, aircraft interior components made of TPU LCF40 composite material are 30% lighter than traditional materials, but the strength is increased by 50%. This innovative application not only improves the performance and safety of aircraft but also brings new opportunities for the development of the aerospace field.
