PA12 CF Reinforced Composites (PA12 carbon fiber reinforced composites) have the following characteristics: - High strength and high modulus: The reinforcing effect of carbon fibers endows it with excellent mechanical properties, with high tensile strength and bending strength. - Good dimensional stability: It can maintain good dimensional accuracy under different environmental conditions. - Low water absorption: Compared with common materials, it has lower moisture absorption and its performance is not significantly affected by humidity. - Good low-temperature impact resistance: It can still maintain good impact resistance in low-temperature environments. - High thermal conductivity: The measurement by laser-flash diffusivity analysis shows a significant increase in its thermal conductivity. - Good wear resistance: The addition of carbon fibers can improve the wear resistance of the material. - Anisotropy: Its properties may vary in different directions. PA12, namely polyamide 12, also known as nylon 12, is a semi-crystalline to crystalline thermoplastic material in itself, with good electrical insulation, impact resistance, chemical stability and other characteristics. The combination of carbon fibers and PA12 integrates the advantages of both, making the composite material widely used in aerospace, automotive, sports equipment and other fields.
PA12 CF Reinforced Composites have a wide range of application areas. They are commonly used in the aerospace industry for manufacturing lightweight and strong components such as aircraft interior parts and structural elements. In the automotive sector, they can be found in engine components, transmission parts, and chassis components where high strength and heat resistance are required. The electronics field also benefits from these composites, for instance, in the production of housings and enclosures that need to be both durable and resistant to electromagnetic interference. Medical devices, such as surgical tools and prosthetics, can utilize their biocompatibility and mechanical properties. Furthermore, they are employed in the sports and leisure industry for making high-performance equipment like bike frames and sports gear. Industrial machinery and equipment also make use of PA12 CF Reinforced Composites for parts that need to withstand heavy loads and harsh operating conditions.
