Abstract:
This study investigates continuous manufacturing of flax fiber-reinforced thermoplastic tapes using polypropylene and polyamide 11 matrices. The effects of processing parameters on impregnation quality, microstructure, and thermal stability are analyzed, establishing correlations between resin chemistry and process conditions to optimize bio-based tape production for lightweight structural applications.
