Abstract: Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites have been widely applied in many fileds due to their excellent properties. As an intermediate material for the manufacture of thermoplastic composites, the preparation and quality control technology of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic prepregs is very important for the development of thermoplastic composites. In this paper, three preparation methods of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic prepregs are introduced in detail, such as melt impregnation, solvent impregnation and powder impregnation. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are summarized. The development trend of high performance thermoplastic prepregs is prospected.

Key words: continuous fiber, thermoplastic prepreg, melt impregnation, solvent impregnation, powder impregnation, composites
