As high performance thermoplastic composites evolve as primary and secondary aircraft structural materials, there exists a need for a material form that greatly broadens the selection of thermoplastic matrix materials. Thermoplastic prepregs that are drapeable and tacky, yet incorporate a wide range of thermoplastic and pseudothermoplastic matrix materials on a reinforcement of choice with no evolution of reaction by-products or solvents, would greatly increase the choices of matrix material and offer improved processing n a cost effective manner. BASF has recently demonstrated such products, using a newly developed powder impregnation technology and is currently rapidly developing this technology as a commercial process.
