Abstract(s)
Fibre reinforced thermoplastic pre-impregnated materials produced continuously by diverse methods
and processing conditions were used to produce composites using pultrusion. The processing windows
used to produce these materials and composites profiles were optimized by using the Taguchi/DOE
(Design of Experiments) methods. Those composites were then submitted to mechanical testing and
microscopy analysis. The obtained results were compared with the expected theoretical ones predicted
from the Rule Of Mixtures (ROM) and with those of similar engineering conventional available materials.
The results obtained shown that produced composites have adequate properties for applications in
common and structural engineering markets.
