Brush up on long-fiber compounding & molding. (Composites).


Hear molders and machinery and materials suppliers explain why inline or "direct" compounding and molding of long-fiber reinforced thermoplastics thermoplastics, materials that soften or melt when heated and harden when cooled. Thermoplastic polymers consist of long polymer molecules that are not linked to each other. i.e., have no cross-links.  (D-LFT) is the up-and-coming up-and-comĀ·ing
