Thermoplastic-Based Composites with Low CTE for Space Structures and Circuit Board Applications,

Authors: A. M. Ibrahim; T. K. Shah; L. J. Matienzo; J. D. Venables
Abstract:
A variety of organic and inorganic woven fabric-reinforced, high-performance thermoplastic composites were screened in order to develop new composite systems with low or near-zero coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in the X-Y direction and reasonably small CTE in the Z direction. A high-performance, semicrystalline thermoplastic, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), which has low CTE was chosen as the model thermoplastic matrix system. After sucessfully processing PPS composites by compression molding, the resulting thermal, thermomechanical, and electrical properties were studied by using a combination of tests.
