RESEARCH ON PROPERTIES OF POLYACRYLATE THERMOPLASTIC RESIN AND ITS VACUUM-ASSISTED INFUSION GLASS FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITES

Abstract

Abstract: The reaction characteristics of Arkema polyacrylate thermoplastic resin Elium190M were analyzed, the basic properties of thermoplastic resin and the mechanical properties of the glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite by vacuum infusion were studied, and compared with the thermosetting resin and its vacuum infusion glass fiber reinforced composite which is used in batch in wind turbine blade industry. The results show that polyacrylate resin Elium190M has low viscosity, long open time, low curing temperature and short curing time, which is suitable for vacuum assisted resin infusion process. The mechanical properties of glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite are comparable to those of thermosetting composite used in batch for manufacturing of the wind turbine blade. At the same time, the interface property between thermoplastic resin Elium190M and its thermoplastic composite material is higher than that of the thermosetting resin used in batch in wind blade, indicating that the thermoplastic resin can also be molded partially by prefabricated parts, then formed large composite parts by integrated infusion molding.

Key words: polyacrylate resin, thermoplastic composites, vacuum assisted resin infusion, mechanical properties
