Prediction of modulus of injection molded CF/LCP thin plates

Abstract

The modulus of the injection molded carbon fiber (CF)/ liquid crystal polymer (LCP) thin plate was estimated by the Cox formula and by laminate theory based on the fiber orientation and distribution of the modulus of the LCP in the thickness direction. It was verified that the prediction method suggested in this paper was valid to estimate the modulus of thin injection molded CF/LCP plates.
