POM CF20 has POM matrix and 20% carbon fiber. It offers high strength, rigidity, wear resistance, improved heat resistance, low thermal expansion, enhanced conductivity and good processing. Suitable for various parts and can be molded for complex shapes.
POM CF20 is an excellent engineering plastic composite. Here are some introductions:
Composition of POM CF20:
Matrix is POM, known for high mechanical strength, good wear resistance, excellent dimensional stability and chemical corrosion resistance. A widely used engineering plastic.
Contains 20% carbon fiber with high strength, high modulus and low density, enhancing material’s strength, rigidity and heat resistance.
Performance characteristics:
Mechanical:
High strength and rigidity. Addition of carbon fiber makes POM CF20 very strong and rigid. Tensile and bending strength greatly improved compared to pure POM. For high-load structural parts. In key mechanical parts, ensures stability in complex environments.
Good wear resistance. POM is wear-resistant. Carbon fiber further enhances this. Longer service life in friction. For gears, bearings.
Thermal:
Improved heat resistance. Carbon fiber raises heat resistance. Wider application range.
Low thermal expansion coefficient. Small dimensional change with temperature. Important for high-precision parts like in electronics.
Other:
Enhanced conductivity. Useful for electrostatic protection or conductivity needs.
Good processing. Can be molded by injection, extrusion. For complex shapes.
1. Select suitable POM resin as matrix, 20% carbon fiber as reinforcement, and add additives as needed.
2. Put POM resin and carbon fiber in high-speed mixer for premixing. Adjust time and temp for uniform mixing.
3. Feed premix into twin-screw extruder. Set temp 160-200°C. Optimize screw speed and pressure. Cool and granulate.
4. Add composite particles to injection molding machine. Adjust parameters for good molding. Cool and demold.
It’s crucial to control process parameters. Post-treatments may enhance performance and life.

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.
