TPU-LCF10 Material Overview

TPU-LCF10 (Thermoplastic Polyurethane with 10% Carbon Fiber) is an advanced composite material that combines the inherent flexibility and durability of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with the added strength and stiffness of carbon fiber reinforcement. With 10% carbon fiber content, TPU LCF10 offers improved mechanical properties over standard TPU while maintaining its characteristic resilience and flexibility. This makes it suitable for applications requiring moderate mechanical strength, wear resistance, and high flexibility.

Mechanical Performance

The inclusion of 10% carbon fiber enhances TPU’s mechanical properties without sacrificing its core benefits. This material provides improved tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact resistance, making it more suitable for moderate-stress applications where both strength and flexibility are important.

  • Tensile Strength: ≥ 50 MPa
  • Flexural Strength: ≥ 100 MPa
  • Impact Strength: ≥ 40 kJ/m²

These properties make TPU LCF10 ideal for applications that need moderate mechanical strength but still require good flexibility and toughness.

Thermal and Chemical Resistance

TPU LCF10 offers reliable thermal and chemical performance, though it is not as heat-resistant or chemically resistant as higher carbon fiber composites. It can still withstand moderately high temperatures and exposure to oils, solvents, and mild acids.

  • Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 120°C
  • Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 90°C
  • Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to oils, mild acids, and solvents, but not as robust as higher carbon fiber options

This makes TPU-LCF10 suitable for environments with moderate temperature and chemical exposure.

Wear Resistance and Processing Characteristics

Thanks to its 10% carbon fiber content, TPU LCF10 offers increased wear resistance compared to standard TPU. While it may not perform as well under extreme friction as higher carbon fiber content materials, it still provides excellent durability for moderate-duty applications.

  • Wear Resistance: Moderate resistance to wear and abrasion under low to moderate friction.
  • Processing Methods: TPU LCF10 is compatible with common processing techniques for thermoplastics, including injection molding, extrusion, and 3D printing. The carbon fiber content allows for easier processing compared to higher fiber-content materials, requiring fewer adjustments in manufacturing.

Environmental Adaptability

TPU LCF10 offers low water absorption, maintaining its dimensional stability even in humid environments. It also retains its chemical and thermal stability in a variety of conditions, making it suitable for use in outdoor and industrial environments.

Applications

Due to its enhanced properties, TPU LCF10 is suitable for a variety of applications where moderate strength, wear resistance, and flexibility are needed. Some typical uses include:

  • Automotive Industry: Lightweight components such as gaskets, seals, brackets, and clips.
  • Consumer Electronics: Protective casings, connectors, and housings.
  • Industrial Manufacturing: Bearings, seals, and low-stress mechanical components.
  • Sports Equipment: Grips, padding, and components requiring flexibility with durability.

Friction coefficient of TPU-LCF

The friction coefficient of TPU is typically between 0.3 and 0.5, while TPU-CF, with added carbon fiber, lowers the friction coefficient to between 0.2 and 0.4. The smaller the value, the better the wear resistance. Therefore, TPU-LCF generally offers better wear resistance than pure TPU, especially under high-load conditions.

The tensile strength of TPU is typically 30-60 MPa, while TPU-LCF, enhanced with carbon fiber, has a tensile strength of 70-120 MPa. Therefore, TPU-CF is significantly stronger than pure TPU, making it more suitable for high-strength applications.

  • What are CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?

    CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites are materials where carbon fibers are incorporated into a thermoplastic matrix. They combine the strength and stiffness of carbon fibers with the processability and recyclability of thermoplastics. For instance, they are used in automotive parts like bumper beams.

  • What are the benefits of CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites over traditional composites?

    The key benefits include faster production cycles, easier recyclability, and better impact resistance. They also offer design flexibility. An example is in the manufacturing of consumer electronics casings where complex shapes can be achieved more easily.

  • How are CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites processed?

    Common processing methods include injection molding, extrusion, and compression molding. Injection molding is widely used for mass production. For example, in the production of small components for the medical industry.

  • What industries use CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?

    They are utilized in aerospace, automotive, medical, and sports equipment industries. In aerospace, they can be found in interior components. In the medical field, they might be used in prosthetics.

  • How does the carbon fiber content affect the properties of the composites?

    Higher carbon fiber content generally leads to increased strength and stiffness but may reduce ductility. A moderate content is often balanced for specific applications. For example, a higher content might be preferred in structural parts of a race car.

  • What are the challenges in using CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?

    Challenges include higher material costs, complex processing equipment requirements, and ensuring uniform fiber dispersion. Issues with adhesion between the fibers and the matrix can also arise. An example is in achieving consistent quality in large-scale production.
