Continuous Fiber Reinforced Biocomposites and Polymers

摘要

A device for introducing continuous fiber into a product material is provided. The continuous fiber is provided from at least one continuous fiber supply. The device comprises a housing having a first opening and a second opening. A channel is formed through the housing from the first opening to the second opening. At least one fin member extends from the housing into the channel with the at least one fin member having a conduit formed therethrough. Upon the product material travelling through the channel of the housing, the continuous fiber travels from the continuous fiber supply, through the conduit, and into the product material. The continuous fiber increases strength and stiffness of the product material while decreasing time-dependent creep deformation of the product material.
