Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Composites

thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composites

What Is LFT

Long-Fiber Thermoplastic (LFT) is made by an injection molding process and features continuous filaments throughout the pellet, giving these materials strength, stiffness and impact resistance over a wide temperature range.

As an exciting growth area in the field of thermoplastics, LFT composites have been widely accepted as a viable alternative to traditional reinforced thermoplastics and metals for a variety of applications.

Product Details

A facile method with the advantage of using only one single solvent throughout the whole processing was introduced to prepare graphite nanoplatelet (GNP) filled thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites. Morphological studies showed that the employed method could provide the uniform dispersion of GNPs in the TPU matrix. Storage modulus of the nanocomposites was increased with increasing GNP content, and the improvement was more obvious at temperatures below the glass transition temperature (Tg) of TPU. For the nanocomposite that contains 3.9 vol% (the maximum loading employed in this study) of GNP, it still showed a long elongation at break of over 600%. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the incorporation of GNPs could improve the thermal stability of the nanocomposites. In addition, cone calorimetry results showed that the GNPs could act as intumescent flame retardant and significantly reduced the heat release rate (HRR), thus improved the flame retardancy of the TPU matrix.
