High-performance polymers for fibres and fibre-reinforced composites
the developed air-textured and spread
hybrid yarn is 15% higher than that of
the reference materials [8]. A reduction
in waste and thus a higher material
efficiency are achieved (see Figure 3).
Compared to the aluminium component,
additional costs are only 400 €/kg. Thus,
the aviation industry's specified additional
cost limit of 500 €/kg is not exceeded.
Thermoplastic high-performance polymers
are used profitably in fibres and fibre-reinforced
composite components
for aviation or automotive applications
for example.
The advantages are the technical
properties of the materials and their
low weight. However, the high price
of high-performance polymers poses
a challenge. In this context, research
work by the Institut für Textiltechnik of
RWTH Aachen University shows that it
is possible to reduce costs at the fibre
level by mixing materials. The cost of fibre-reinforced
composite components
can be reduced by using hybrid yarns

and novel production processes such as

of high-performance polymers will thus
be possible in the future.
