Comparative Study of Carbon Fiber-reinforced Thermoplastics

Author(s) Mr. Uddipan Pathak
Country India
Abstract This research focuses on carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (CFRT), specifically PLA, ABS, and PETG, each reinforced with 10% carbon fiber (CF) by weight. The aim is to evaluate how these composites perform in terms of mechanical strength and vibrational characteristics, with particular emphasis on their potential for functional, load-bearing applications using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), a popular additive manufacturing (AM) technique.

The study investigates how carbon fiber reinforcement enhances key properties such as tensile strength, stiffness, and vibration damping. Mechanical tests were conducted to assess tensile strength and modulus of elasticity, while vibrational analysis was done to understand how these materials respond to dynamic loading, which is crucial for engineering applications in fields like aerospace, automotive, and robotics.

The results indicate that CF-ABS performs best in stiffness and damping, while CF-PLA excels in tensile strength but has lower damping properties. CF-PETG showed weaker performance in both mechanical and vibrational tests, primarily due to its inherent ductility and poor fiber-matrix bonding. The study highlights the importance of material selection based on specific engineering requirements, particularly when considering dynamic and load-bearing conditions in additive manufacturing.
