Injection molded Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite delivered high stiffness and low weight while simplifying manufacturing Complēt™ and OnForce™ Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites - Design Guide Optimize stiffness, strength, and toughness to obtain structural performance with lightweight long fiber reinforced thermoplastics. 

The Challenge A major US automotive OEM makes extensive use of lightweight composites materials. For the brace, Avient's engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating. The composite material used to make this part includes a custom-formulated thermoset epoxy resin, which also has good corrosion and chemical resistance.
