Continuous fiber-reinforced composites with thermoplastic matrix resins are very well suited for use in automotive manufacturing. However, to manufacture them is complicated. A new approach involving in-mold polymerization of the matrix resin developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology ICT (Pfinztal, Germany) and Engel Austria GmbH (Schwertberg) now reportedly makes it possible to use the injection molding process.
