An investigation of in-situ AFP process parameters using CF/LM-PAEK

In recent years the use of thermoplastics has become popular in aerospace applications, with a primary focus on fiber-reinforced composites. Displaying greatly improved mechanical properties, new components using these materials still need to be characterized and their suitability for aviation appli...
